ADD Means . . . Being Distracted http://mindzone.in/child-and-adolescence/
* You are late to everything because it is hard to resist becoming distracted as you walk out the door by the toy left out, the plant that has fallen to the ground, the dirty dish in the sink
* Distraction is worse when you are in a hurry, when your mind is preoccupied, and when you are stressed
* You are thinking many different thoughts all at the same time
* You are trying to multi-task but you forgot the first task that you were working on while trying to complete the second task
* Your efforts to be more efficient do not work as you never come back to complete the first task once leaving to complete the second task
* You are caught playing with an object and accused of not listening or attending to the conversation by the teacher, by your friend, by your spouse, or by your child
* You become preoccupied with looking out the window
* You lie in bed and remember all the tasks or things you said you were going to do and forgot to do
* You feel like you are traveling on a fast train much of the time. The fast train has too many frequencies, too many radio stations and too much noise
