She also makes lots of little careless mistakes when doing her work, as though she is only halfway paying attention to what she is doing.

Hey look, it's me in a nutshell.
Both my brother and my dad are also diagnosed ADD. I have pretty much channeled the energy I have into being productive. I have to do things in short spurts--such as no Tuesday Thursday classes, because no matter what, after 25-30 minutes, everything is blocked out, and on T/R classes, that leaves me missing over half the information.
My friends get REALLY aggrevated because I am always playing with something, and I have to touch EVERYTHING!!!
I also just sit there and nod at them, but I rarely have any clue what they are talking about.
I have never taken meds, though b/c I do pretty well without them (as far as school goes).
