I've had an idea... if there are any graphic artists out there? What about a poster for doctors' waiting rooms? There are so many occurrences in the forums of 'if only I had known earlier..' that perhaps there just aren't enough people finding out about the condition including doctors. so something like: Are you easily distracted? Do you procrastinate? Poor short-term memory? Inattentive? Impulsive? Perhaps you have difficulty coping with routine tasks? You could have ADHD which affects 3 to 5% of the population. visit www.addiss.co.uk for more information.

I love the idea *but* I wonder how many GPs would actually allow posters. Many aren't exactly in favour of people getting treatment. Nothing ventured though...

Ok by poster I guess I should say leaflet or something designed to be put up on a notice board. They usually have loads of stuff like samaritans, cancer support group etc. so I thought something like that on a notice board with the other material is bound to be read by someone with ADHD eventually.

I know what you mean, there was one for pms on a door when I was little. I read loads of stuff on walls when I'm waiting.
The only way to get something like that is for it to be official looking and have permission. ie needs friendly doctors/receptionists. Perhaps addiss should release one.
Also getting the right questions could be an issue as some of them could be something to do with other stuff.

I read loads of stuff on walls when I'm waiting. Exactly! I read everything in sight! I thought the forums would be a good place to get ideas and, if there's any artistic people about a few designs might help get the ball rolling. I would have thought ADDISS would be the right people to publish and send off to GP practices.
