Re: 27 year old Norwegian girl with newly discovered ADD(SCT-SluggishCognitiveTempo)

Thanks for posting, Elisabeth! I never knew about SCT until you mentioned it. Sounds like me! I’ve been reading posts from here for a few weeks now and could relate to most everything from those with ADHD-PI except…. my mind is not in hyper-drive. Feels like it’s very much in slow motion…. like the gears are rusty and get stuck often. I feel so much like I belong with this group here, but I thought my “sluggish” mind disqualified me from ever getting an ADD diagnosis. I’m meeting with a neuropsychologist for testing and will discuss results next week and see if further testing is needed.

I meant to post a few minutes after your post first came out, but I kept editing and re-editing…. I’m sure you know how it is, but I just had to thank you for bringing up the subject! I’ve been reading online what little info there is on SCT. I was just excited to know that I can have ADD even if my mind is not in hyper-drive.

I’d like to say I will post an update on my diagnosis, but I don’t trust myself to not flake out! Hoping to get this “brain fog” lifted, if even just a little!
