In reply to BROWN ATTENTION-ACTIVATION DISORDER (BAAD) SCALE, posted by S.D. on July 15, 2000, at 19:51:42
I was diagnosed with ADHD, but none of the meds really helped my main problem of forgetfulness. The pdoc thought I also had depression and anxiety. I don't care too much about labels at this point. I just want help to get my memory to a point of not constantly embarrassing myself or putting myself and/or others in danger. (I forget to turn off the stove, iron, and coffeemaker.) I fit the BAAD profile with the following exceptions: I am not hard to awaken. I am not easily irritated. I used to be able to memorize and recall facts easily for tests. The info would soon fade away after being tested.
I'm not sure about the "loner among peers". I am very social when around people, but have no friends. I can't seem to get past the aquaintance(sp?) stage.
QUESTION-- What the heck are they talking about when they say problems of active recall of "aims"? I understand active recall. By aims do they mean goals??? Renee N
