I have predominantly inattentive subtype ADD. I was diagnosed at a young age, I’m 28 now. I was easily bored I’m school, couldn’t focus, sit still, wad really bad at math…I’ve only taken 2 college level math classes my entire life, the rest have been remedial. I didn’t have many friends in school. I was a shy, child who played by herself. I got and still get frustrated easily. I can multitask and sometimes be a perfectionist when it comes to completing a task. I’m very forgetful.
I didn’t have high self esteem growing up because I got made fun of for how I talked, I had a speech impediment, but now have grown out of it.
I talk really fast, anyone else do this?
I love bright and loud things so going to concerts is a lot of fun for me! I can even on my medication act silly and goofy like a 12 year old, but more mature!
Was anyone else really good at science?
Even though I knew I was labeled as a child as being “different”, I just didn’t know why, it wasn’t until my boss told me he has ADHD too. It was as if a whole new world has been opened up for me! It’s such a relief and (comfort??) to know another adult who has ADHD Inattentive Type. It is easy to sit and talk for hours with my boss about the struggles and joys of having ADHD Inattentive Type.
I have always had trouble forming my thoughts in my mind and being able to speak them, is it any wonder why public speaking can be frustrating and difficult?
I’m glad that I found this website, this forum and especially this thread…I’m glad I’m not alone!
