Re: Do you tell people you have ADD?
Mine has detachable faux leopard trim but it also has a handy front pocket for emergency pens. Are you a member of The Used by any chance?

Re: Do you tell people you have ADD?
I don't generally tell people I guess.
I'll mention it when I goof sometimes... Oops, ADD moment there.

Re: Do you tell people you have ADD?
I try to tell people. All the people I have told either forget or don't seem to care. But I hardly ever tell people not because I'm ashamed but because I know that it won't make things better.

Re: Do you tell people you have ADD?
Its all a matter of whether or not I'm comfortable sharing that information with a friend. Most friends aren't close enough to me for me to feel comfortable telling.
It's defintely not something I reveal at work as it would change the way my supervisors percieve me. I don't openly discuss this with my entire family, but I have a sister that I've been very close to and we've shared many an ADHD story.

Re: Do you tell people you have ADD?
I haven't told anyone and probably won't tell anyone, I'm 49 and I've just recently been dx'd, soooo, everybody just thinks I'm loopy. Let them think what they will (hmmm, I AM loopy-LOL)

That's me. I have told a few close friends, my parents, sister, daughter and wife. I've caught myself starting to blurt it out, as you say, impulsively. I've had a habit for years blurting out too much information to the wrong people. I hope, now that I've been diagnosed, can learn to stop doing this (and that maybe the meds will help if they help me recognize and catch impulsivity).
