In wide parts of our society - and even in some professional circles - this is believed to be the case.

I would say to anyone who is thinking about attending the Maudsley Adult ADHD clinic to avoid it like the plauge, now don`t get me wrong i know how it feels when you are desperate for some help with this condition, however, there is wide agreement amongst sufferers in London that what is offered there is entirely unfit for purpose that does more harm than good.

Thankyou for posting this, it is of absolute vital importance the we the suffers and support groups of this come together as a larger group to take ownership of our condition and also how it is viewed by wider society and how funding is allocated. I think it is time for some kind of national conference.

It is reality because it don ever go away you born with it and we die with it its to to with receptor and other stuff in the brain but yes lots people get on with there lives and are fine and most people don't know you got it till you tell them but it don't mean its not there we just learn how to deal with it. well some times depends on the circumstances its different for different people

a.d.d. is not really about hyperactivity, its mostly about how far ur head can stay focused, some people just get bored but thats ok, me in the other hand forget what i was talking about like 2 minutes ago, often more i ask the person what was i talking about 15 seconds ago because when i tlak with someone i usually keep changing subjects because i find it hard remaining in one subject, and i work in a place i have to remember things, and i usually forget what i was supposed to do..
