If you are an Adult and Suspect that you have
Attention Deficit Disorder...

It is not too late to get treated.  While everyone has some of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD, some people have a great number of symptoms or struggle to a much greater degree than others.

We used to think that by the time that a person reached adolescence or young adulthood, they had outgrown ADHD.  However, we have learned that while many of the hyperactive symptoms may not be so obvious (most adults no longer are jumping on the furniture!), many deficits may still exist.  Problems with boredom, poor organizational skills, difficulty focusing or paying attention are still often a problem for people who had ADHD as a child. It is now believed that at least 50% of the people who had ADHD as a child will have significant symptoms into adulthood.
