I think I have ADD...?

Actually, I'm 95% positive I have it. At first only my friends and teachers brought it up, and I was kind of like..yeah whatever. But today I went online and took these self-tests to see if I have ADD, and on every single one of them I was told to have the strongest form of ADD called Adult ADD or something. I'm extremley random, can't even pay attention, always have to be moving, I'm always late...can't remember times, dates, and so on...I always seem to say the wrong thing, I get bored SO easily...sometimes I get up during class jsyt because I have to move. But the thing is, my parents don't believe me. I get really good grades and I can pay attention to things if it's something that holds my interest, so my momt hinks I don't have ADD. What do you think?

Only a doctor can tell.
Diagnosis and treatment would benefit you greatly. I used to be
similar to your parents in that I really didn't "believe" in A.D.D.
I just didn't understand it. Now I do ,and I see how it can effect the quality of life.

. Is there a school nurse or teacher you trust. Perhaps they could work with you and your parents. Best wishes...

I'm glad you can ADD because you can't SPELL

Peoople with ADD can't sit still for a moment and get no work done. Obviously you get work done b/c u get good grades so you probably just have restless leg syndrome or something. Everyone gets bored in class
