> With ADD, do you tend to focus really hard on one thing, to the extent of all others? My boss said this about me in my last review. Also, my sister always talks about how me, my bro and my nephew all do this thing where if we watch tv, you can call our name over and over and not get our attention.Does that sound like ADD in your opinion?

********sure sounds like my son & he was labelled as ADD by a pediatric specialist when he was in about Grade 9. She also said that kids with ADD OFTEN get into trouble with drugs; trying to deal with the stress & the "You are SMART - you could DO BETTER - you just have to APPLY yourself" litany that they've gotten from teachers (& maybe parents) for years!!!Kath
