ADD cruelly contradicts Aspergers?

Post Reply New Topic

Only recently have I become aware of what ADD actually I'd and its threatening to ruin my life! I know it's not all ADD but recently my special interests have gone totally haywire because whatever I'm b****y into only lasts as long as I can research it and them I get the damn awful days like today when I get really upset and begin to panic that my interest has gone and left me and then one thought will come back and it's ok again. But I'm sick of this! Sick of leaving things unfinished, sick of moving on just brcause there's no more to research. Why is it so rubbish! How can you ever accept that? I can't even accept aspergers yet because we have video proof that my MMR injection caused my brain and body to shut down further and further and now I'm stuck with this! I just want to feel secure again, know I WILL finish a project, know it I'd possible for me to have an interest for a decent length of time without panicking every few days that I've lost it! It's not even funny how bad it feels.

Are you able to speak to a doctor about treatment for the ADHD? It's very treatable, although a lot of people have very emotional reactions to the medications, influenced heavily by negative propaganda.

I also am autistic and have ADHD, and it really is frustrating, and gets in the way of things I want to do as well as things I need to do. I'm at peace with having it, but the effects on my life have not been good.
