How do you know if you have ADD?!
Question: I was diagnosed with ADD in 2000. My freshman year of highschool I was struggling with my grades and after much fighting with my school administration they agreed to test me for ADD. Shortly after being diagnosed, I was put on medicine that helped me concentrate. I could not concentrate on anything, the slightests noise would make me lose my train of thought. I took myself off of all the medicine in 2004, I still have a hard time concentrating but I've taught myself how to keep my train of thought.

It gets diagnosed by a doctor.
If you have trouble focusing for a period of time then the government says you have ADD. I think some things are just so boring that they don't deserve my focused attention.
