I can't understand the way you worded your post and the title.

I have no idea what you are talking about so perhaps you can give a better explanation. Are you talking about Wrong Planet website or another website.

I have never seen an "Add Forum" on the Wrong Planet website. Normally that function might be reserved to the Site owner only.

In Wrong Planet, you can click on Forum and it will display all the Forum categories. You can select a subform and click on it and it will display all the threads in the subforum. Then you can select an option called New Topic that will allow you to start a thread.

Do you perhaps mean This Thread or This Other Thread? You can also do a local search for "ADD" and get a dumpload of other possible threads, but I have never seen a specific ADD/ADHD forum on this website.

That's what I thought. That you meant "ADD" as in "ADHD". Attention deficit disorder, aka ….hyperattactive …"

I don't recall that there was ever an entire subforum on Wrongplanet devoted to ADD/ADHD, though there is a subforum devoted to ALL psychiatric condition not under the rubrick of autism.

If you mean a "thread", and not a "subforum". Then you will hafta sleuth that out yourself. You can type ADD in that search space above.

Oh I see what you mean, I thought you meant 'add', as in +, but you meant ADD.

Based on some recent PM correspondence with asalem, I suspect that he meant "ADD" as in "Attention Deficit Disorder".

Anyhow, to answer the question, if indeed I understand it correctly:

The description of the "General Autism Discussion" sub-forum says, "Talk about anything that has at least something to do with Autism, Asperger's, ADHD ...." So I take it that questions about ADHD (formerly known as ADD) are on-topic here.

There is a website called ADDForum.com Here is a link http://addforum.com

It is a linkage website. By that it links to other websites such as ADHD websites.

This website has no relationship with the Wrong Planet website as far as I can determine. But it is focused on ADD/ADHD.

I noticed that you referred to the website as ADDForums.com
I wonder if the problem you might be experiencing is due to the "s" that was added to the website address
ADDForums. com vs. ADDForum.com

Two relevant forums I found via Google just now:

- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Forum, on PsychForums
- ADDitude Forums
