    ADD - anyone else got it?

     

    Am I seriously the only person in the world with ADD!? I'd really love to talk to someone else who has it. Not ADHD - it's very different from ADD (and seems a lot more common as well...). I'd just love to talk about the general difficulties of it with someone who truly understands!

    Hi, ADD stands for Attention Deficit Disorder. It's basically when you have trouble concentrating (like I can never have a conversation with someone when there's TV on in the background). Because I have to work a lot harder to concentrate that other people I get tired a lot more. I get excused from some homework due to me being too tired after school to do it. Any more questions just ask away, I don't mind answering them

    Hi supersta1234. Yes I'm on medication (Concerta XL 54mg per day). No I go to a normal school. I get excused from some homework due to being too tired at the end of the day with all the concentrating and I manage well at a normal school.

    Thanks for the advice
