hi evry1, names kaz, m 22 yrs old, grad nurse (still studying 4 NCLEX-RN) and asking whether my diagnosis is ADD or hyperfocus.
hmm, i'll gonna start here,
Positives=
>good boy
, thoughful, helps any1 in need, very respectful and knows what the
person will feel b4 i'll say somtin'(like thinkin' twice b4 saying
somtin') type person
>Not related- academically on passing
level but im good at computers -software or hardware-name it(i even got
an award on best in computer subject in the whole school, computer geek

) taken 1 1/2 yr in computer eng. but shifted to nursing due to career-economic problem.
Neutral=
>Not a loner but less interested in people in a different league
>dont like conversations that doesn't interest me
>and
conversations that criticize other people (my dad, sister, step mom r
lyk that, hopefully not me)==>sorry to my family, coz its just the
way it is...
Negatives=
>im always lazy, impulsive in the way i move, childish(they say/wat i've observed)
>not a sharp thinker except in school/computer related things
>somtimes forgot house chores or just don't want to remember it

(u think its normal?)
>when
im in a conversation, when the person im talking to- say somtin'
interesting, my mind focus on that "thing" (like a short daydreaming)
and wont notice the next words they'll say. so i cant completely
understand wat they've sed to me. or if they said somthin' rude (i then
focus thinking why sed somthing rude and not thinking what i would feel)
>things
i remember stupid= forgot to put back the fuel cap of the car after
refueling(bcoz im late to get to my lil' sister's school), can't
remember the roads i've gotten to if im not the 1 driving or if som1
directs me how to get to the destination, and last,- som1 asking me to
remind them of somthin' and end up-them reminding me

haaayz, i feel stupid and also bcoz my family makes me feel that way....
hope som1 get interested in my post and replys even if its also problem oriented
thnks in advance... and hoping som1 can relate...for god's sake...
First of all, hyper focus can be caused by ADHD. In my opinion and from what you wrote, I would say you have enough of the signs to warrant testing for ADHD.
I can relate to some of the things you list. helpful of others, respectful, forgot chores, hyper focus and have to be reminded to remind someone of something. I'm a Network Administrator in charge of about 250 computers now. So I can relate to the interest in computers. ADHD people seem to be drawn to technical fields like computers, or pimp'n da street hoes. ADHDs hard on a pimp, constantly forgetn who's paid up and who aint. Without my meds I say things that hurt my hoe's feelin's. You gots to be nice to da ladies who traind in turnin software into hardware, they can really hypa fokus!
I hope you found todays lesson helpful.
thx man, i find it helpful, specially the "hoe" part
