To be honest, I originally joined this sight to support my husband, but something has been bothering me. I have been reading a book called Delivered from distraction and I'm suprised to see how much I can relate to that book.
:confused:Technically I was once diagnosed with AD/HD(by the school I was at), but my mom claims that they were diagnosing any child who stepped out of line just so that they could put them on ritaline. She is anti-ritaline because my sister was on it as a child and she acted like a zombie. She had no emotion in her eyes and she can't even remember anything that happenned while she was on it. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia a year later and Bipolar Disorder twelve years down the road. Maybe those are simply the reason I act the way I do.

Anyway, the reason I think I might have it is....

1. I wiggle my legg when I'm sitting. It drives every body crazy.
2. I concentrate on things I shouldn't rather than what I'm supposed to. Some times it's shapes, other times I'll make up stories in my head. I'll accually play the stories out like a movie.
This slows my actions down when I'm working. I learned this when I worked as a donut crew. I would watch the shapes my icing made as I dunked my donuts. My co-worker said I would slow down my progress at this point.
3. I toss and turn in bed untill sleep take me.
4. I'm a huge procrastinator. I get worse when I start thinking about how badly I need to do something. It gets me worked up and I find myself pushing it to the back of my mind and doing something else.
5. I find I can relate well with my husband on a lot of levels (he has AD/HD). While I do take on the leadership role in our little household, I find it easy to understand where he's coming from most the time. Maybe it's because I'm more like him than I know???
