ADD meds help a little--but only a little...the fundamental characteristics [such as this] are all there.

It was really a pleasure to meet you this weekend. Next year?

I don't actually use meds, and am not Coded as such. I'm apparently not quite dramatic enough about it. That, or there really *is* a reason I've got such a stupid amount of control over myself. :) (which I'm teaching myself to relax)

nod..

I was talking about my experience...I was undiagnosed until age 25...Psychologist went back through my school records and did the ToVA on me, etc., etc., and apparently it was a "no-brainer" diagnosis that was only missed because I was more inattentive than impulsive (i.e. disruptive--the disruptive kids are the ones who get diagnosed, because they're causing a problem in class, not just for themselves)

I used to do that. Coping mechanisms are a Good Thing... except that now it drives me crazy when other people do that. :/

Huh! See, I usually can control it. It's why I have my Palm (to write myself reminders of what needs to happen). But, if tired or there are too many things I want to do, I can get *really* distractable.
