If there was ever a sign that I might have ADHD... (discuss.tchncs.de)

After years of suspecting ADHD (and two decades of struggling), I decided that maybe I have ADHD. While I wait for an answer from the psychologists, I decided to take an online ADHD self-diagnosis questionnaire out of curiosity.

I found myself mousing over and highlighting the text in one of the questions over and over, thinking about something my girlfriend told me the other day, struggling to actually read the question. When I finally read the question, it was:

How often are you easily distracted by external stimuli, like something in your environment or unrelated thoughts?

Safe to say I started laughing out loud. Starting to feel pretty certain that I'm one of you :P

(I am still mid questionnaire)

Haha, yeah... That's what my mom used to say when I questioned why it seemed like my brain was run by a dysfunctional group of squirrels. As a child, I remember having to leave myself notes each night so I'd know in the morning if I was in a fight with a friend or similar situations. I'd just squirrel out and forget. Yep, ADHD. Thanks, Mom!
