First, don’t worry. You won’t become ill if you stand near someone with Attention Deficit Disorder, and you won’t explode if you have it, yourself.
Do you have ADD? I don’t know. Certainly, the following does not mean you have ADD, but does any this sound familiar to you?
* You saw a great movie last night and want to tell your co-workers about it, but are unable to remember the title, the actors, or the director and end up saying “you know, it had that guy from that space movie with that older lady in it and he held up a bank where a teller was the young girl from that dog movie?”
* You’ve just recieved a luke warm job review in which your boss told you that you do not follow the corporate filing standards, do not submit paperwork on time, and do not work to your abilities, but also likes the way you “think outside the box” and quickly develop interesting solutions?
* You get up early in the morning to have some ‘quiet, alone time’ so that you can concentrate your attention on reading a technical manual without many interruptions from the kids, but have to re-read many paragraphs several many times because of a bird chirping in the yard?
Or, maybe you know someone like this?
* You’re husband often, and inexplicably, shouts at the kids in the back seat about making too much noise while he driving through moderate city traffic?
* Your co-worked is fun to work with but seems to disregard your project contributions because every time you try to discuss a new idea he simply interrupts you half way through to tell you about his solution?
* You don’t like going to movies with your girlfriend because she can’t stop wiggling in her seat, always bouncing her legs, and talking through many of the scenes?
If you’ve found yourself knodding your head while reading any of these accounts, it may be because you’ve had a Close Encounter With Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).
