Hi, any ADDers here? I'd love to communicate with people who understand why I am the way I am, get and give advice, etc. I've really been enjoying this website the past few weeks, originally joined because my 6 year old is pdd-nos/hyperlexic, but I feel totally at home here!

People with ADD? I was diagnosed with it when I was 10.

Cool, thanks for the welcome! Dx 15-ish years ago at age 23. Was glad to discover that I wasn't stupid, gave me a new lease on life.

Anyone non-hyperactive? On meds? Kids with asd? I guess I'm looking for ways to cope. I need to get my brain together so I can do what I need to for my son. I'm just starting to emerge from another bout with mild depression and am feeling guilty about not being more effective with my son's needs. I know what I need to do, I just can't seem to do it. Anyone deal with something like that, if so, how do you handle it? And do you feel like you need to act NT around others? Very few people know my true self.

G'nite.

Well, no kids... so my methods might not be your best options.

All the time.

Same here, in fact I'm not sure that anyone really does.

me me me me...

..except the person who assessed me as having AS um..said that a diagnosis of AS would rule out the ADD instead of it being co-morbid...but I was first diagnosed with ADD...and I call them ADDers too...

I am not on meds, but right now I really wish I was.

Um....

don't have kids....

I've been diagnosed with just AS, but I know I have ADD as well. It screwed up all my chances of getting an education.
