were you diagnosed in your country or over seas? your average grades, were they due to the fact that you could not find it easy to write the answers down on paper? although you knew the answers in your head?

Profile Information
- About me & Relation to ADHD?
- Highly likely suffered from ADD (yup, without physical hyperactivity) since childhood and never diagnosed as the concept is alien in my country even in 2012.
I have a pretty high IQ (in 150s somewhere) and a very good recall, i passed exams if i read my books/notes just once and still i only manged to get average grades throughout (except in conceptual stuff) due to inability to study consistently. Luckily i chose a field that is based mostly on concepts and ideas and I managed to get my masters
- Share something interesting about yourself and life with ADHD.
- Creativity i guess, I get about 3 or 4 new ideas for research papers when i review just one :)
and the on/off ability to focus very sharply without distraction for a short time (and mostly under a very high deadline pressure)
I speak around 6 languages fluently and can understand a couple of others but thats kinda common in my culture so..
yeah, i learn stuff super fast, and get bored equally fast. I learnt to draw, sculpture, program, swim, and other numerous activities but i burnout fast and never stick to anything for long, gets boring..

Sometimes we have a cocktail of conditions that merge into one another.And when we read up about it, we make the symptoms fit that particular condition. ADD/ADHD also fit as some of the symptoms of Dyslexia, & Aspergers, as well. You go to a specialist and you tick a lot of the boxes for a certain condition thats what you are LABELLED WITH in the opinion of that specialist.
Its just working through the maze.With a coping strategy which has a bit of some thing and the best of nothing, because no one will be able to pin point a particular remedy or strategy that works in all instances.
