I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD. I never even considered the possiblity that this is something that I could have. I guess I should have. Apparently if your sibling has it, which my brother does, you are at least 25% likely to have it yourself. Yet looking back on the symptoms during different phases of my life, even before drugs and alcohol, has convinced me that I indeed was genetically predisposed.

I would like to hear from others who are dealing with ADHD. I know it's generally known as a childhood thing, but thats only because a lot of people make it to adulthood without ever knowing the truth about what is wrong with them. For those who don't believe it exsists please refrain from sharing, I have made up my own mind about it's legitamacy.
