I think ADHD is disproportionately present in males.

my GF has it (as well as AS), if you're just looking for statistical data, although she doesn't have an account here, no.

I was diagnosed ADHD some years ago and CBT for it saved me from getting fired.

Other threads have led me to suspect that I'm nearly the only person around here who doesn't have ADHD.

I'm like queenserenity22, I hate the fact that I have ADHD though, it's a massive time waster. Plus I think it doesn't go well with AS at all - because you could be totally absorbed in one of your special interests, and all you want to do is spend hours on it, but because of your ADHD playing up you can't seem to focus for more than 5 minutes at a time even though you want to so badly. Same with university study - I seat myself down to spend several hours on an assignment, and my attention is constantly jumping all the time and won't stabilize, I could go running three times in three hours, try eating honey sachets, try anything and nothing works. It brings me to tears all the time.

Option B is I go back on ritalin, which makes me effectively extremely anxious and brittle, bad tempered, and unpleasant to be around plus almost anorexic. ADHD sucks.

/rant

to the OP - I'm not entirely sure of the purpose of this thread...

I agree. I'm glad people can understand me and I them.. I have so many extreme interests.. but most of my time is spent lying on my bed staring at the wall then getting up and pacing then wall staring again :cry:

I dooo! I have inattentive ADHD, in addition to AS. hale_bopp and sunshower, I totally get what you mean about those contradictory actions and thought processes, they drive me insane!

Btw, yeah, what IS the purpose of this thread? Just curious. It is in the Love and Dating section, so maybe the OP has a thing for ADHD girls ... ?
