I recently spoke with my doctor about my concerns for my ADDness, although I am not dxed, and he gave me a parent survey and two teacher surveys for them to fill out about me, I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about. The questions range in responses from 'never' to 'very often', and I am definitely 'often' or 'very often' on about half of the questions, but I have 18 years of practice trying to be 'normal', so I hide most of these behaviors fairly well.
Example: "Loses materials necessary for task completion"
-Yea, ummm, let everyone know- I've lost my calculator 3 times this week, havn't been about to find "A Tale of Two Cities" for about 6 days, and I've had to borrow a pen in english everyday for the entire year- or act as if everything is fine.
With the first option, I get in trouble, with the second, no one knows anything is wrong but me, so naturally I chose not to get in trouble right?
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if so, what did you do about it, or what should I do, even if you havn't had this problem?
thanks
