Um...should we first establish what the definitions of ADD and ADHD are because I'm not even sure the medical community at large completely agrees with what it is across the board?

Once or twice I've hoped he has amnesia after something dumb I've said or done.

NONE. If these disorders were present, it was definitely not the working guys I've been with. Quite the contrary, they were very in- tuned to the the entire experience.

I actually had one escort...just recently, I realized almost immediately what was going on, so I just dealt with it. I used to have a couple of co-workers that suffered from ADD, and I know the difficulty and frustration in dealing with it. Both of these guys hated the way the medication made them feel, so the worse of two evils, they opted to not take anything. But it really made their life very difficult on so many levels.

Now that's one mis-conception about ADD/ADHD. One trait I've noticed in people with this (especially when looking in the mirror) is the ability to hyper-focus on things. It isn't always an inability to focus on things (which happens) but also the complete opposite end -- hyper-focus, to the exclusion of everything else.

NP Bill. Just one of those things that those of us who have dealt with ADD/ADHD know.

As by our prior communication, an inordinate number; some are of the opnion that the presentation of ADHD, NPD and ODD is a common denominator with a high percentge of "rentboys".

There are a couple I wish had ADD or ADHD. It would have been much better than the catatonic state they were in.

Signs and symptoms (Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

 

Individuals with ADHD have deficiencies with self-regulation and self-motivation, that cause problems with distractibility, procrastination, organization, and prioritization. The learning potential and overall intelligence of an adult with ADHD, however, are no different from the potential and intelligence of adults who do not have the disorder. ADHD is a chronic condition, beginning in early childhood and persisting throughout a person's lifetime. It is estimated that up to 60% of children with ADHD will continue to have significant ADHD-related symptoms persisting into adulthood, resulting in a significant impact on education, employment, and interpersonal relationships.[4]

Whereas teachers and caregivers responsible for children are often attuned to the symptoms of ADHD, employers and others who interact with adults are far less likely to regard such behaviors as a symptom. In part, this is because symptoms do change with maturity; adults who have ADHD are less likely to exhibit obvious hyperactive behaviors. Research shows that adults with ADHD are more likely than their non-ADHD counterparts to experience automobile accidents[5] and less likely to complete their education.[6][7] ADHD adults have significantly lower rates of professional employment, even controlling for confounding psychiatric problems.[8]

Adults with ADHD are often perceived by others as chaotic and disorganized, with a tendency to need high stimulation to be less distracted and function effectively. As their coping mechanisms become overwhelmed, some individuals may turn to smoking, alcohol, or illicit drugs. As a result, many adults suffer from associated or "co-morbid" psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse.[4] Many with ADHD also have associated learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, which contributes to their difficulties.[9]
