Are you sure? I came right into the comments and did a Command+F for "ADHD", as this is what I thought as well.
Know that all types of ADHD aren't the same, and specifically that there is ADHD without the outward hyperactivity. Look up "Inattentive ADHD" - I am 30, and up until this past year I just thought that I had issues with procrastination, lack of follow-through, and was easily distracted.
Does this sound like you?
- Underperformed in school, despite being incredibly bright.
- Frequently didn't complete homework in school.
- Easily distracted.
- Shifts from one uncompleted task to another.
- Frequently skips large sections of text when reading.
- Procrastination.
- Frequently switches jobs
- admiralmidnight 13y agoThat sounds exactly like me, but I don't skip large sections of text. I also read and think and talk about programming a lot more than I do it. At work I don't have this problem. The work place establishes the focus, which is hard to maintain at home. Anyhow, why should one get a diagnosis for ADD/ADHD. What difference would it make for a 20 something?
- lancer383 13y agoAt least for me, just understanding myself better has helped me cope with the difficulties I have.
