I was diagnosed with ADD at around age 11 when my teacher noticed I didn't hand in a lot of work (which seems to be how most people are ending up getting diagnosed). For me it use to be completely haywire. I would not pay attention in class but somehow still pick up what everyone said and then the next I would try to concentrate only to be distracted easier than without concentration. I ended up taking ritalin which made me horribly sick by making me lose tons of weight (I was already skinny) making me ghost white and I acted completely different around friends. I was eventually taken off all medication and I'm still off of them. I can say I feel I have been getting better, though some things do feel tedious at times (questions that need similar outcomes I get bored with through the 3rd or 4th one) and my organization is still pretty bad (but I feel I could fix this). I don't have to be around exciting poo poo all the time and I'm fine doing most boring, mundane things (Long car rides, doing computer work, so on). I like to tell myself I'm outgrowing it but I'm not sure if I am.
