[QUOTE="bran155, post: 187939"] Early on when my daughter was diagnosis with ADHD and I started doing research I absolutely diagnosis myself as well. My mother said back when I was in elementary school they called it day dreaming. I was never evaluated and given an actual diagnosis, however I did need the resource room for extra help. Throughout my schooling I did find it very difficult to stay focused. As a child I had to always be occupied, I just couldn't sit still and watch tv, I needed much more to make me happy. As an adult, I am a complete scatter brain!!! I forget everything and lose everything that is not tied down. I have all the symptoms of ADD, not really hyper anymore, now that I am an old lady!! lol Every time I leave the house I have to stop and recheck if I turned the lights off, the coffee pot off, if I locked the door, if I have my keys and so on..... I am so utterly disorganized, my sister has to hold all of my important documents as I will end up losing them. I have tried my daughter's Concerta before and it did help a little. At this point I am so used to living this way that I wouldn't even bother taking medication for it. I just know that I must second guess myself at all times. I think I tend to read into my son's behaviors way too much as I am so nervous he will be a difficult child. His teachers laugh at me because I am constantly asking if they notice anything I should be concerned about. They say absolutely not, he is just fine and has no issues. Thank God because I don't know if I could handle two difficult children!!! I drive myself crazy with worry, if my son is a little hyper one day I am thinking "oh great, he is ADHD" and I start analyzing his every move. Knock on wood, he seems to be just fine. He is actually a very good boy. I am so blessed with him, he is a sweet kid. When my daughter is having a bad week and displaying difficult child like behaviors my son will mimic them on a very small scale. I worry about that a lot.
