Who else notices this? | ADHD Information

If you read my post under the topic "ADHD Is More Than Problems With Attention" I talk about just that.yeah thats what made me think, and I didnt realize how people take it as if its funny like they made up some clever joke or something.What frustrates me the most is when kids claim to have the disorder. Not just that, but they go around telling people they have it, like they have any clue what it is like. This is a club, you have to pay your dues, and the dues happen to be a life long battle.

Yeah I've seen kids do that, they think they have it, then feel proud, then for some weird reason, when they find out you have it, everyone is weirded out because they don't know what they're talking about and are stupid.

I really have not heard any talk of ADD outisde from doctors and such without making fun of it. I mean, it's not even taken seriously anymore. It's like a joke disorder that alot people think is just a myth and assume it's not even real- I just kinda get frusterated with people being so uneducated about the subject, yet talking as if there is nothing to really have to know, because since they think its a myth disorder, they can make up their own symptoms. Then that breeds and expands (and by that I mean they influence others) and you've got a big world full of idiots who don't know what they're talking about!!Yeah, I agree with what you're saying. It is fun to pretend you have it, until you find out you actually do. Then it isn't so fun anymore. Unfortunatly, most of them will never have the divine priviledge.Rmpnt_Intllect38885.5250810185Haha, yeah, the best part is taking speed and being all amped up and not break a single law. I like that. I sit in a room full of people and can say proud and loud, I am happier than any of you, so ha! Well, I don't find a sense of pride in taking "drugs", I do like that I can take a medication that helps me perform better though. I do not envy people who do not have ADHD. I have found that it makes me who I am. And I like myself, most of the time.Well yeah I was just using that good feeling as an example. I can sit in math class and watch these buffoons sit there and get pissed as f**k because they can't figure it while I breeze right on through it with no problem. Same thing goes for memory. I don't know about you, but I can remember things extremely well when I take my meds, almost like I'm reliving the memory as I tell it. Probably why I hardly ever loose stuff.  I have good memory too, but even if I skip my meds for a day, I still retain my ability to quickly memorize anything. I think I have a photographic memory.

You gimme any date in the past and ill tell you what day it landed on

(not really)

I was gonna say, I didnt know you were a savant.I can't stand it when people say things like "OMG i
totally have ADD" and then u suggest they get tested
and they say they have and the results were negative
and you just feel like screaming "then you dont
friggin have it!! Stop using it as an excuse for being
thick!"

Also you mentioned tht you were happy when on
medication. My medication makes me zombie-like,
anti-social, nervous and irritable. I take concerta
what do u take? Also do u have ADHD or ADD?
