Dammit, every time I read one of these ADHD posts I'm like, that personality trait of mine I've had since childhood is ADHD too? I'm too old for this shit. If they could just drop the H I could accept it but I'm lazy af. I'll just wait a few more months and let them decide I have Alzheimer's instead.

ADD used to be a separate diagnosis, but now they classify both as subtypes of ADHD: Primarily Hyperactive or Primarily Inattentive. I'm ADHD-PI and can't relate to stereotypical hyperactivity at all.

Hyperactivity in adults is often masked or internalized. If you keep yourself tapping a rythm, bouncing your leg or repeating some tune in your head over and over you might just qualify for further diagnosis.

Damn, we gotta stop the music industry. They are spreading it like a virus!

None of the above.

Although maybe I would have more energy if I cut out caffeine, if that reverse thing is true. Yesterday I had 2 coffees and a tea and then took a nap.

I feel so called out

I read this as my leg bounces to the rhythm to a song playing in repeat in my head for the last three days. I'll consider it.

Not everyone is hyperactive.

ADHD is the whole spectrum, each individual presents differently, with more/less of each attribute.

ADD is a subtype. Last I read there were a number of subtypes, sort of a matrix of attributes.

It took them years to figure it out with me. I was in high school in the mid 90s before they diagnosed me with ADD, and gave me a prescription of Adderall and unleashed me on university a year later.

I wish I had been able to be medicated a bit longer, but the few years I had it gave me some good habits.
