Re: Why was I not diagnosed when I was a child!

Wgreen,I have had a long history with being unable to concentrate. I am a drummer,musician,artist. I have had a very hard time sticking to one thing,and finishing project’s. I do have 2 sibling’s with ADD. I also have a nephew diagnosed from an early age. I did not finish high school. My grade’s were terrible. I just could not concentrate,read,listen,and so on. I did not even get my last report card my junior year due to a lost book. My parent’s just brushed it off. I met a guy,and got married at 19. That was a huge mistake. I was trying to pursue my music career,but never could make a go of it. Never could get organised enough to get a band together,and stick with it. Did not help my husband was very controlling. I left him. I could never just stick with one artistic endeavor for very long to be accomplished. My social skill’s did not help,as i was talk,talk talk. Anxiety started to keep me home,so my community resources were becoming few,and far between. I married again,to a drummer. I had a son,and spent my time making sure Garrett would have it better then me. He was the opposite of me. He was an accomplished drummer all through junior high,high school. Well I became a band mom,and my music carrier went out the door. My son is now in his senior year of collage to become a music teacher,professor. I am proud of him. He still does not really understand why I have not done more in my life. Music runs in my family,and I am very musically inclined. That did me no good,with out the skill’s I needed to make a go of it,well I feel very lost.
