[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I thought the same thing about myself. In most cases of ADD, the problems are worst in childhood and get better in early adulthood. The symptoms of ADD can get confused with those of anxiety (particularly in my case!)[/quote] This is what people used to think, perhaps because you used to have to have hyperactivity to get dxed. And that does get easier for adults. I have inattentive type and between that and hyperfocus (that is a common symptom of ADHD), I did great when I had a career well suited to my quirks. When I left that career to do something else, everything changed. Now I take medication for ADHD. Most of my cousins - my generation - still take meds for ADHD and we are in our 30s and 40s. [/quote]
