What I would give for there to be one solitary person at work who understood or even had the merest inkling of what ADD is and the effects it can have. Everyday I complete at work I consider a small personal triumph. Lately with the fear of redundancy I feel I have been going backwards.

Thanks CM. I don't usually mention the negatives I experience - and manage mostly to see the funny/lighter side of things.. but sometimes I get so pee-ed off.

the worst bit is when people start to notice you do things differently from them and they just interpret it as you being thick.

Hopefully I have had enough intelligent moments to balance out the apparently 'thick' moments... but I fear that it is those times that it takes me a little longer to learn because I have to work things out for myself where ever I can, that get remembered.
I do not think that they understand that you can feel confident that you understand something but can find yourself without a clue 5 minutes after being instructed. Using something and working it out for myself is how I learn.
Not sure I understand what you mean Snickerz - that I am using adhd as an excuse?
