I've been looking about the internet and there doesn't seem to be any chat rooms or forums for those with add or adhd. The majority of them are focused at parents of children with the disorder. So here I am, cause I need to rant about this...
I have add, but because of new research and information the phsyciatrist wants to re-evaluate me in-case it's actually adhd I have.
For those who don't know the difference, this disorder comes in three different ways.
Mainly hyperactive
Mainly Innatentive (known as add)
and Both
What he wants to do is find out if I actually have both, which wasn't possible beforehand because I wasn't hyperactive enough.
But get this...New research into girls with adhd shows that it presents differently, so I could actually have the third type.
This means I haven't been getting the right support and medication, and things that i've screwed up and done were a part of my condition and not just part of my personality.
I've been reading up on the new research, and I think I might actually have both.
Annoyed. Yes.
Here's the article on girls with adhd...

Feel free to comment even if you don't have ADD or ADHD
