Question:

I think that I might have A.D.D. Please help me!!?

My teachers say that I fidget non-stop. My Mom says I get distracted really easily. My math teacher who also has A.D.D. says that I act just like she did when she was my age.


Answers:

There is a specific criteria for ADD and for ADHD. The diagnostic criteria is in the DSM-IV Manual. You can find information about ADD at www.chadd.org. C.H.A.D.D. is a national non-profit organization that is an informational support for parents and students with ADD.

You didn't say how old you are, but there could be other things going on as well. Hormones, allergies, too much caffeine, etc. A doctor would be a good place to rule out other factors.

Good luck in your self-discovery process.
