I't's definitely not adhd or add, I have no problem with my attention span, I can sit and read multiple books in one sitting over hours. Other than that the simmilarities (sp?) between our situations are uncanny. I think to much before bed, sometimes for hours. I barely passed high school, Mostly due to lazyness not to lack of intelligence (i took an intelligence test through the college i was enrolled in and i ended up with 90s and 80s over 8 various categories as well as two 99's, you should have seen the counsellers face when this skinny stoner kid got those kind of scores). I went to college to be a chef and ended up smoking all the time to cope with the mind numbing boredom before dropping out of the program. Now i smoke a little everyday and I'm going back to highschool in order to get enough university credits to get into General biology at either U.W.O. or laurentian University in ontario.
Actually, i think the classification for add and adhd are too broad and people end up on these psychoactive drugs designed to suppress these urges, which do more harm than good. I've known kids who i would say have adhd and others who have been classified adhd and they are completely different. any kid on a sugar rush could be classified adhd. I have almost all the symptoms for add, due to lack of motivation, my own introverted nature, and too much caffeine.
p.s. sorry if im a little unclear about anything i said about adhd, i have trouble getting my point across in alot of situations
p.p.s. this post makes no sense, half bio/half rant/half post script. Im posting it anyways because i spent 20 minutes figuring this badboy out, and by-golly when i put in that much effort to a post, it's going to go up
