ADD

Here's a nice little link to a test/quiz thing:

More input from FAQ Farmers:

  • Behaviors can be judged as normal or "problem" ADD by evaluating them in relation to the person's age and developmental maturity. For example, the same behaviors that are acceptable in a 5-year old may be problematic for a 10-year old.

  • Problem behaviors are also long lasting, tend to occur more often and create more problems as time goes on. Children with ADD/ADHD will have more problems than other children their age experience in the same settings.

  • It's not worth it to try anyway, since negative labels aren't helpful, especially for children. Instead, focus on correcting certain behaviors.
