Logged out because I don't post personal things on the net, but I was diagnosed with this a few years ago. Other than the Mensa reference, I would have posted most of what Peg and Mark did. I am taking medication and it seems to be working for me. My focus is much better and I am able to complete things fairly easily. I thought that it was something that Psychologists had come up with as a catch all for most messed up kids, and was leary when mine brought it up as a possibility. But the more he discussed it, the more possible it seemed. I took the tests, they indicated that I could be the Poster Child for it. I wish I had known about it 35 years ago.         

Peg, why do you say that adults shouldn't take Ritalin?
