I think I might have Attention Deficit Disorder. I have been reading about how the mercury in immunization shots can cause autism. The last shots I had was the series for hepatitis vaccine in 2001, flu shot in 2001, and flu shots in 2005 and 2006. Since 2001 I have been having symptoms of ADD like trouble concentrating, making careless mistakes at work, job hopping, and have problems with forgetfulness. I am 32 years old.

Does anyone have personal contact with or are you a person who starts some project and can’t seem to get around to completing it in a timely fashion…starting and stopping and coming back to it perhaps in days, weeks or possibly never? Is this A.D.D. or can it be for other reasons this cycle is repeated? What does one do about it? It seems that we overuse drugs to remedy “EVERYTHING”, so suggesting alternatives would be welcome!

I you think that you may have ADD, then watch the following video as ADD is explained very simply by a person who has Attention Deficit Disorder. As he states, he views ADD as a gift not an affliction which helps him to multitask many things at once.

Here’s a cool list of facts that might interest you: Go to this link for a few cool facts: borntoexplore.org Edited for those who misunderstood the first version. Sorry for the repost, but I just want to make sure my message gets across more clearly. The % of entertainers who have ADD was from my own observations of the people I personally know who are in the business. That’s not a scientific fact and I don’t think anyone can really estimate what the real percentage really is. I didn’t mean to offend anyone with that percentage (although some people still feel that way). -Cory “Mr. Safety”

I have a chronic attention deficit problem. I cannot concentrate for more than a few seconds. I cannot remember what I did a few hours ago. Today I day dreamed through my train station and ended up further than I intended to go. If I drive somewhere I cannot remember how I got there. I forget everything. I walk out of meetings and I cannot remember what was said. It’s beginning to seriously impede my career. Is there anything that can be done about this?

I have selective attention deficit disorder when it comes to cleaning up closets and things like that.
Raymond! My grandfather used to have a hearing aid built into his eye glasses. You could see him reach up and scratch his ear (turned hearing aid down) whenever my grandmother started talking.
BTW, seriously! I am sure I have ADD or ADHD myself, but I also think it’s important to keep your sense of humor. If not life could be so painful.

I am working on a presentation about ADD/ADHD and I need some personal feedback. What do YOU think about this ADD/ADHD phenomenon? Do you think it’s over-diagnosed? Do you think it even exists? Are you diagnosed with it? Can you tell me about some of your struggle?

Any opinion about Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
