<p>I do not think I have ADD, but my mom is concerned that I might.</p>
<p>I am a forgetful person, and I frequently forget things that my mom asks me to do.</p>
<p>However, when it comes to school, I very rarely miss deadlines.</p>
<p>At times I do find it hard to focus, but doesn't everybody? </p>
<p>I also am an extreme procrastinator...my procrastination isn't even limited to school or chores, I procrastinate presumably pleasant things like buying books I want to read...or reading them.</p>
<p>I think this is caused by my lack of motivation, not an inability to pay attention...my mother is still not convinced.</p>
<p>I’ve got the exact same situation! I went to my doctor and they said that my symptoms were classic for ADHD, but as my grades were so high, she didn’t think it was a huge problem and that counseling and stuff would help. I never got counseling though and now I’m just lurching from deadline to deadline trying to stay afloat and beat the procrastination! </p>
<p>Thanks for your reply!</p>
<p>If you don’t mind, could you elaborate on your situation a little? I don’t feel like my symptoms match ADHD/ADD very well, but I do know that the procrastinating makes everything harder than it needs to be…</p>
<p>I’m about to start freshman year, but I had really high grades all throughout middle school…I know that is not really an accomplishment, especially by CC standards, but many kids with ADHD struggle to do that.</p>
<p>I just realized that I never actually stated a question or anything in the original…so my question is, has anybody experienced something like this and has found ways to cope with it? Or, if you know a lot about ADHD, is there a legitimate reason for me to be concerned about it?</p>
