I've been doing some reading up on it, and I came across this list in a book called Driven to Distraction. I STRONGLY identify with all but 3 or so of the statements! I also found a more detailed AD/HD self-rating scale for women online, and same story. I printed both these up and am going to discuss them when I go see my psychiatrist next week. It would explain a lot!
I think mine is more the inattentive type...I certainly don't have the hyperactivity...at least not most of the time!

Driven to Distraction is a great book. I'd like to add other books to take a look at.

A.D.D. On the Job - Lynn Weiss, Ph.d
Definitely get a proper diagnosis from a medical professional.
