The only non-match I could see is the tendancy to hyper-focus. I do this when involved in good fiction or television. Other then that the whole thing is right on target for my ADD, especially the low energy, lack of motivation aspects!
I always new I had a lot of this stuff going on, it's nice to know it has a name and is an actual disorder. I know that a lot of my self-esteem problems stem from the fact that all through my childhood, I just thought I had some kind of weird personality defect. I really wonder how my life would be different, if I had been diagnosed and treated way back then. At the very least, I'd have known that none of it was my fault. CarolAnn
