I have wondered a bit over the years if I have some kind of low-level ADD. I do not have problems with forgetting stuff, and I do actually pay a lot of attention to detail - but almost too much. In fact, I am almost distracted by details and can't focus on what is really going on. I am very distracted by noises, etc - for example, I have a very hard time reading when there is any noise. I also am very bored by many things and would say that I need a high level of stimulation to pay attention. Sometimes after a conversation with someone, or listening to some kind of lecture, I actually have no idea what it was about. But, like you both said, I can focus on things when they truly interest me. I can't stand commercials and often feel like I need to get up to go do something during those few minutes or else I'll be too bored. Oh, and I'm extremely fidgety (but certainly not hyperactive)! Hmmm... I wonder...
