I am surprised you did not factor a biblical reference into this. :P :roll:

My youngest is ADD, not ADHD, but for her it is a focus problem, and procrastination. she is easilty distracted by noises, phone calls, and other stimuli that I can ignore and block out.

You can also visit the newest forum that focuses on ADHD and other issues in General Discussion if you want relevant feedback. :)

ADHD is a performance disorder. It's not a matter of knowing what to do, but being able to do what you know. It doesn't affect cognition.

My experience is that I have ADHD.
