ADD/ADHD Test

[Frosty]

I was diagnosed with ADD as a child as well. It was in the early 1980’s before ADD/ADHD became an explain all for children who couldn’t concentrate and a cash cow for pharmaceutical companies. I was re-evaluated in my early teens and the diagnosis was upheld. I never did get treated with meds because back then pills weren’t given out like candy. Also, I wasn’t hyperactive, I was withdrawn instead.

Im much more withdrawn than hyperactive myself as well. But when I get hyped up... I DO have a problem with talking too fast and interrupting. Fidgeting too. But otherwise my hyperactivity symtpoms are pretty “sometimes”/Underground.

Ive been diagnosed with the combined type but Im definitely definitely more inattentive. By far. But apparently thats common for adults, especially women

Of all the problems I have, I don't think ADD and ADHD are among those problems.

31. Inattention 17. Hyperactivity 14. I do have some attributes of this. Amazing I've done as well as I have. I rather enjoy the freedom of being distracted and doing whatever I feel like on a moment to moment basis in the day - daydreaming off. Its life

Im not sure if, if I retake this, if I should answer from a medicated or non medicated perspective. Medicated I can do like one of the most boring repetitive jobs possible for 8 hours a day. Non medicated IDK
