Re: Is This ADD or Something Else?

[Anonymous]

Here is a couple of quotes I got from the internet. Seems to fit.

Difficulty sequencing and following directions: Weak past and future concepts, everything is in the NOW! With a process involving 3 or 4 steps the ADD adult may easily miss or forget all but the first and last step.

ADD people are kin-esthetic learners . . those who learn much more by experience. Those with ADD are trainable, not educable. The difference is that the Educable person is someone you can tell something to and they learn it after only one or two times. The trainable person is one that learns after much repeatability.

Boy does this make me feel like a dummy. No wonder people get frustrated with us. Looks like we are not trying. But we are.

Thanks Billd for your input, I thought this problem was something other than Add. Looks like some kind of malfunction within the ADD brain. What I don’t understand is why do only some of us have this problem will others with ADD do not. Really would like to know the answer to that.
