Double A, Double D.... 40 year old diagnosis

Ok, it isn't the title to an adult movie....

Recently I started to get frustrated with my in ability to stay focus at work so I went online and for kicks and giggles I searched Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (AADD) and took an online quiz and guess what I passed with flying colors.

So, I have just started meeting with a specialist and we are going to map out a plan to help me. It isn't like my life is miserable I just hate the working on a task and then "hey look at that butterfly" feeling. It also helps me explain my need for a structured plan (got to love a Marathon Training plan) and my need for order. It also helps me understand why when things get out of sync why I "loose it". So as much as I set out for this Blog to be running focus the blog will probably now have my ADD factored into the blog and how I use my marathon training to keep my focus in line..

So more to come, and yes I will make fun of this issue as it relates to me and I hope to not offend anyone but that is who I am.

Thanks for sharing my humor, I am in Maine 7/2 to 7/11, if you promise not to abuse me maybe we can get together for a trail run?

Ugh. You have perfectly described how I can get. I've occasionally even gotten upset at myself for not being able to finish, or focus, on the task at hand. And now you have me wondering if I could have this? What site did you use? How soon does the specialist think you will start to see progress/improvement?

Good luck.
