•Adult ADD Remembering To Remember
When you have adult ADD, it's not surprising that your memory is faulty. When you remember certain events or places, you might get a bit creative, let's say.

•Adult Add And Women
Because girls with attention deficit don't usually have the hyperactivity component that accompanies ADD, they're thought of as being emotional or difficult. When they do have the hyperactivity factored in, then people call them tomboys or think of them as flaky or flighty.
