( I am now inspecting myself more closely, so that I will be able to report accurately when I take the ADD exam )

I have read this link: ADD
And it now looks to me that I do fit the ADD profile, after all. So many symptoms there I can check; My tendency to loose things; Tendency to daydream and woolgathering; the great gap between my intelligence and my results in school and Uni, my far too often impulsive behavior, my bad habit of interrupting into a conversation; my inability to stay sited for longer than half an hour, and need to hold things and play with them, or else kick something - violently, or else just up and move about. (I would drive my mom to distraction with that one. She would so often yell at me to just : "stop it! stay put and focus , damn it!" And I could not.)
Well, will know for certain soon enough. I think that like many other highly intelligent and gifted people, I had learned to mask some of those symptoms from the environment, and bridge some of the gap. But just some of it. I did not pass for normal as a child - but neither did I pass for a child with learning syndromes; not with my intelligent and high language and me reading 120 pages per hour. So.
Oh, god, my neck. I twisted it somehow at night, the pain is unbearable, and me cleaning now did not help any, damn it. I can hardly move it. And it hurts so much. No gym today, that's certain.
