Back when I was in elementary school I could never focus and always drifted off, but after I turned 13-14 the symptoms practically went away, I was never on any medications or anything. Now that I'm 20 I barely seem to have any symptoms at all, or very rarely and it is always manageable. But here are symptoms I do get:

-Poor hand writing, have to print, lots of mistakes (always, but never when typing, I am very accurate and fast at typing)

-Lose concentration on things I am not interested in (rarely)

-Less focus in the afternoon (sometimes)

-Anxiety around strangers (sometimes)


Is it possible I have ADD and it just diminished with age?


I don't really have any interest with getting officially diagnosed because like I said it is manageable and I can function fine. I guess if I do have it I am one of the few that is fortunate. :)

Symptoms can improve w/ age. (So I'm told). I would just like to let you know that I asked about what I could have. You can see some of my threads. One is "could this be bipolar..." (averity05; Andy) A moderator mentioned to me that nobody on the forums are able to diagnose you and all that we say is advice, not absolote fact (not all is not absolute fact, just sometimes, we all are alowed to make mistakes were humans.)

Just remember to condider this when typing new threads...

In regard to the above, it could be it could not be. You have to speak to a doctor who specializes in ADD/ADHD to get a true answer.
