In reviewing the checklist for assessing ADHD (as it's still called here) in my role as school counselor I've discovered that I have ADHD. In fact I have about three times as many symptoms as the child that was sent to me:
Often daydreaming/ in a world of their own - check
Prone to non sequitur outbursts - check
Starts things but drifts off before they are finished - whoa that's my entire life in one sentence. In fact I'm kind of surprised I'm still writing this)
Often makes careless mistakes - check
Suspected of having hearing problems- check
Loses things, procrastinates, messy room - check, check, check
Finds it hard to wait, always in a rush, easily frustrated, poor sense of time - uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
I could go on but this is taking too long. Where's my ritalin again...
