I've been recently diagnosed with mild adult ADHD. But I know for a fact that I've been suffering from it since secondary school.

Come share your ADHD stories e.g like how you forgot to let your clients sign an important piece of document even after a thorough double checking and triple checking. rolleyes.gif

Don't be shy.

Usually ADHD is diagnosed during childhood. But sometimes symptoms may appear to be normal to kids, thus left untreated. Which explains my hyperactivity as a kid. However, there is no single coherent method of diagnosing ADHD. It's all questionnaires and stuff like that. The usual prescription is Ritalin, which is the first line of attack. Coping mechanisms ultimately saves the day.
