Getting Tested For ADD/ADHD Soon?!
Question: I have a very hard time paying attention in class. Sometimes I can just sit in class and think about what Im gonna do in the day and then I snap back in and Im completly lost. I do this here and there and it really effects my grades. Also when Im reading I loose focus and I could just read the words and not put them together. This makes studying hard and homework a pain. I try my best to get it all done but it takes a lot of time and way too much effort then it should. does it sound like I have ADD?

I was dignosed with ADD/ADHD when I was a child, and I was about 8 years old, and I am now 35. As I can recall, I don't remember my grades being bad; however, at times I had trouble paying attention to what was going on in class.
I had problems with math, and I had a very difficult time with basic facts, but later on I slowly got good in basic facts, and so forth, but my math is no better then 5 or 6th grade level. I can do whole numbers very well, but I cannot do mixed fractions very well at all.
MY reading is well, I can read very well but I have trouble answering the questions.
My handwriting is awful, but I can spell very well, and my spelling is very well, my spelling is at a good grade level.
it might be ask your parents then go and ask your doctor
I had this EXACT problem, saw a doctor, and was diagnosed with a minor form of ADD. Anyways, I didnt want to take drugs so I started reading/doing homework with ear plugs so that ALL sounds would be drowned out....it worked and I can concentrate ALOT better at home.
As far as in the classroom, I forced myself to take better notes which forced me to pay better attention.
See a doctor and if you want, try my remedies!
yeah it kinda does
