I can understand your anger but I came from a small (two child) family and did not get diagnosed until a couple of years ago. Family size did not matter in my lack of being identified. My anger and resentment was directed at the school system. Why didn’t they notice? They sent me to special Ed for spelling but never mentioned or explored why I was reading stuff beyond what was age appropriate and struggling to spell simple stuff, I still can’t figure a lot grammar and spelling stuff. No one mentioned dyslexia. I asked my mom
and she sever remembered it being mentioned in the course of my school career. Its obvious when you look at my handwriting. My parents knew something was wrong, but I was the quite one, the good little girl who got good grades, nothing wrong with me. Academically everyone was more worried about my brother. The school appointed psychiatrist did not see any problems, of course he was only going off a file and one conversation. Changing schools and even changing school systems did not catch anything was off. Before was identified (I’m trying to change my thinking from diagnosed) I knew that if my brother were to enter the school system today they would ld him as ADHD immediately. I think why I did not get Id was a combination of stuff and lack of knowledge and understanding were the big stuff

REPORT ABUSETo late for me too.
REPORT ABUSEI can’t take credit, I found the AdBlock on the forum, I forget were exactly.
REPORT ABUSEI day dream or get looking at that’s going on around me. I don’t like driving because I’m convinced I’m going to get into another accident.
REPORT ABUSEDon’t tell the sponsors but there are free aps that block adds. I use AdBlock for Google Chrome. I don’t know what else there is for the other browsers but I like not getting bombarded. Of course then you get moments were you think “Adds? What Adds? There are no adds on Totally ADD”
REPORT ABUSEJust want to say thanks for the browser add ons.
REPORT ABUSEI learned a lot from this one
REPORT ABUSEso cool, thanks for the blocker! now to remember to add sites.lol
REPORT ABUSEOh my god! i hate stairs. i’m always falling. especially up them. i never connected it with my ADD. i’m supper paranoid using stairs, convinced i’m going to fall.
REPORT ABUSEI feel like a disappointment too. its hard to see your good qualities. its also hard knowing you are capable of so much but unable to meet that potential.
REPORT ABUSEI’m not the only one with these thought. I’ve know that for a while. it’s just great to be reminded, especially on a dark day like today. thank you every one for sharing.
REPORT ABUSEBlanking can be really unfun. i tend to blank during repetitive tasks and conversations. so i have to sing along to the radio and cds on my commute because driving is one repetitive task that i don’t think is a good time to blank. with conversations its because i don’t pick up simple information that you should remember about a conversation. i’m trying to focus on someone telling me a story that is important to them and i will be expected to respond to it but it takes effort to focus on what is being said.
REPORT ABUSEHey i lost my car three times in one day, twice in the same parking lot. and no i did not move it.
REPORT ABUSEWhen i learned about my ADD it explained so much about me. if i’m rushing i get my letters mixed up and i always wondered. i’ve not been tested for it but i’m sure i have it.
REPORT ABUSEHey everyone. i have that short fuse too. right now i’m working on recognizing the signs and am slowly getting it. there are still times when i want to whip stuff across the room. one thing i always end up throwing at least every three months it my cell. i have destroyed them. sometimes i wonder if the temper is partially stress control issue. i think with me it is some days.
