Re: How many of you have been diagnosed with ADHD
My sister was officially diagnosed and treated for ADHD when she was a kid. She was the typical hyper child but she was good at channeling all that energy into sports.
We both ended up participating in a study at NIH for kids with ADHD and their siblings. I only did like one or two interviews and they said that I probably have ADD but definitely not ADHD, I'm much too lazy for that.
I never got treated for it but I sort of wish that I had because I'd love to be able to focus more. One day at my old job I was sitting in a small meeting with my boss and 2 other co-workers going over some things and out of the corner of my eye I see this huge bird land on a branch just outside the window. Without regard for the meeting I blurt out "look at that hawk!" like it was nothing. Everyone gave me strange looks as I sort of shrugged and went back to whatever we were talking about. It's days like that where I wish I had some Ritalin.
