Bro… What do you mean “when I was growing up, ADD didn’t exist”… These are the types of posts that get you bad rep. When I was growing up (and I’m 4+ yrs older than you) ADD, ADHD was always a topic of discussion. I don’t have it, but I have friends who DID have it when they were kids.
Unfortunately slapping kids with ADD, or ADHD doesn’t work. Do some research before posting foolish things.
OP and offroad, glad to see you guys recognized you had a problem and are taking the right steps to improve the quality of your life.
