Re: Almost certain I have adult ADHD

[billd]

Saw the doc for the follow-up appointment Friday. Confirmed. How he does it is to rule out everything else FIRST. Then tests for ADHD, and looks back at your history. Wants to know all about your school days and childhood, as well as work history, etc.

I’m up in the superior section of his tests for things like math (I guess I have potential to be great in math, but I don’t like math), language skills (said I’d make a good orator/speech giving person) as well as visual acuity, can easily see patterns in people, figure things out before others do, see things others don’t etc. –

and I’m near the very top of the ADHD scale – he showed me the test papers. I was clear over to the right, only a few points from the very top, not even close to the “maybe” part. Also indicated that I probably could have been or done anything that I’d wanted to, just that I never wanted to.

Also something I was born with – rarely form bonds with people. Can take ’em or leave ’em. I’ve noticed that. Rarely have a “bosom buddy”, loose track of people or ‘loose interest.’

Of course I am being told all this while “recovering” from just having a tooth worked on, and just turning in a heart monitor after 48 hours of monitoring, so guess what I didn’t pay much attention to… HA.
