Do i have add?

9 Comments

okay, so here are the reasons i think i have ADD;
i jump around topics when i am having a conversation (But i realise i am)
When my mother and i were talking about something serious, a pink truck (those cancer trucks) went passed us, and i literally said "Ohhh, a pink truck"
When I was at my friends place, there was blue paint smudged on her white wall, and I couldn`t focus on our conversation because of that
(there are alot more, but they`re all similar, so im going to skip those)
I cant focus on homework (but this is probably because i hate homework) and dont do it until i have absolutely no choice. (i need time pressure to do homework or any other things unless i really like them)

now the reason i think i dont have ADD;
I can stay focused in class if i want to and need to
I can stay focused on serious conversation if its with people other than my family

so, do you think i have ADD?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    It's a possibility, but there's not enough info to really tell. It also depends on your age.

    I'm guessing that you're just a person with an intelligence level that's higher than average. Frequent boredom and jumping from topic to topic in a conversation happen commonly to people who are smart. If you had add you wouldn't be able to pay attention to ANYTHING EVER. Just try to keep challenging yourself and your mind,

    Nope you just are a typical person with an average attention span. Now if this happend all the time and when you can't concentrate even when you want too... then you have adhd.

    I can't even concentrate on a conversation if a picture isn't hung straight behind them on a wall. I have to go and straighten it.

    I haven't got ADD - please allow us all to have our little quirks, without labels!!
