I think Doc meant that ADD is a disorder, not a personality flaw that can be corrected through behavior modification. Or cured.

He has it! And his son. He said he did not treat his son for it, although he recognized the symptoms early on. He said Junior didn't NEED to be treated. He was coping and doing well in school. (This isn't always the case of course.) His son is now a specialist in the treatment of Rheumatiod Arthritis. He also said we (folks with ADD) learn lots of coping skills along the way in life. I am a list maker! I have to have a list for the grocery store or I would forget to buy the most basic things. I have lots of lists. "Checklists" is more like it.

I'm just glad I have a legitimate condition. It's nice knowing I'm not just plain crazy! I guess it may take some time for the Adderall to help me. We'll see.

I'm a list maker too. I absolutely HAVE to have a list when I go shopping or I will forget the basics too. And when I make a list of what I have to do around the house, I get a lot of stuff done. When I don't, I get almost nothing done. Guess I will be making a list today!!!!!! (if I remember to, LOLOLOL)
