I was labeled the other kind of ADHD, but I overcame it being 22 years symptom and medication free! Want to know something? It was created to describe an experience, but it is not the experience.ĪDHD could be anything. Something? Nothing? An experience? A name? Is it made up? Is it real? It is a four letter word that stands for someone’s identity after being told who they are all their life.ĭoes it stand for children who are too creative or live outside the box? Does it stand for adults who feel like failures because they can’t file paper work? Does it stand for the individuals that are no longer with us, because they felt alone, misunderstood, and unloved? It stands for a chemical imbalance, a brain function difference, and a lack of this or that. That four letter word stands for 5% of the world’s population a demographic of individuals told that they are not the same. It could stand for the cause of their endless creativity or many sleepless nights. It could be a reason to be different or a lifetime of trying to fit in. To others it may stand for a weakness, or maybe a gift. Those that have been labeled and suffer greatly would say that it stands for: a lifetime of disorganization, forgetting things, a multi-tasking curse, a headache, a reason to take medication, and I am sure much more. However, now it seems they are not really sure, and so it is being presented as AD/HD. Up until a few years ago the correct way of presenting both of these was ADD/ADHD, as an individual either had one or the other. It was originally just ADD for attention deficit disorder, but it was changed when hyperactivity was seen to be an important part of the disorder. Clinically speaking, ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
