She told me that she does get sore. That I'm "Not exactly small." <----But I don't buy it.

The "I'm not buying it" was in reference to her comment about his size...or that's how I took it, at least. Only Boomer can say for sure.
She's a psycology major so we looked it up in the dsm and went over it. She doesnt think I have it. She said, when I need to focus I do and I can sit still. For instance watching a movie doesnt drive me bonkers.
As a psychologist, my mother takes issue with the fact that all attention deficit disorders are classified under Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder in the DSM IV and so many people have the components of attention deficit disorder without the hyperactivity. Look under ADHD in the DSM and you will see the inattentive type, hyperactive type and combination type. There also is a classification of hyperfocused attention disorder. Many adults are undiagnosed and over time, since childhood, have develped compensatory mechanisms. Diagnosis of ADD in adults takes symptomology from childhood...things like forgetting homework, misplacing things etc. My mom, as a professional thinks some online tests can be good tools for those who wonder if they have a form of ADD. Here is a link to a fairly thorough test (for the internet). It does ask for your email prior to giving results but gives your results on the site instead of via email. http://www.oneaddplace.com/add-test.php
