I'm trying to figure out whether or not I have ADD, I took a few quizs and questionnaires online. From those who have been diagnosed with ADD. do you also have these symptoms or am I just being paranoid? Also I'm still in high school, and I want to be sure I don't have it before I start 12th grade.

So for symptoms......

• Can't focus on a book unless I'm really interested (thinking about what I'm gonna do tomorrow in the middle of a page)
• Constantly day dreaming in school (makes up most of my school day lol and not just at school, just about anywhere)
• Tune out in conversations alot (someone can be talking to me and I start looking at whats behind them)
• Minor mistakes(such as forgetting the semi colon when coding .just little things like that)
• Really bad procrastination (even when I try to do something early I always end up doing it last minute, all most as if a wall is there)
• Messy (room,book bag, binder all messy)

Sounds like me, kind of borderline. Shrinks always refused to diagnose me with it, though. How is it affecting school performance?

I get alright grades (2 A's,4 B's,1 D). Instead of going to a shrink have you tried going to your doctor?

You should read this book. --> http://www.amazon.co...g=s601000020-20
It has a very good diagnostic system. Better than most shrinks and doctors in my country can provide.
