I just gone through symptoms of ADD and ADHD and they are so common symptoms that everyone faces.

And Now I am wondering if I have it.

I could never sit down and study for tests, since evee. I dont think a day of my life when I have studied, except when its exam. And even the day before exam, I could just never concentrate.

Okay. But I was REALLY attentive in class. I could grasp everything very easily and I used to enjoy learning in class maybe thats why I always managed to score well enough without ever studying. I even used to skip or leave homework. I am also very indecisive and always on extremeties of things. I can just never settle on anything and constantly crave for new things. This is apparent now that I am trying to decide on a career and want to do everything at once, even though I dont like working much in general. I get very easily bored and another symptom that struck to me is once the challenge is over, I cannot continue with the task. Happens when I am solving a coding problem, I will think over the solution until I get it and then get turned off at the idea of writing code, all the syntaxes and all that :p

Please, please advice me.

And also, I used to get seizures as a child between age 8 to 10

ADHD is only a problem if you feel like it is causing you difficulty in your life. If you have trouble with concentration then the best thing to do is see a psychiatrist and get the appropriate medication. It may take a few try’s to find meds that work for you, but once you do then you should see an improvement.

With the prognosis of Cognitive Language incapacity and suffering at school this 365 days, he could be waiting to qualify for and IEP or a 504 plan. it is a legally binding checklist that demands instructors and the college to grant particular lodging for him. The turn specially ed is to have the lecture room instructor attempt interventions in the previous he's formally pointed out with a particular choose. in this the instructor would desire to objective something and in the experience that your son would not respond, attempt something else. (the college will understand extra approximately this) this implies that he won't be pointed out suitable away, yet he would be getting interventions and help to work out if the final factor would properly be discovered. some concepts: noise canceling headphones for the time of artwork time, permitting him to take a wreck and "bypass to the bathing room" if he desires a jiffy removed from the chaos of the room, reducing the variety of issues/questions so the activity won't look as overwhelming or stressful, turning his table removed from the different scholars so it is dealing with a wall, to find out circumstances (standardized, state, ect.) guy or woman or small team administration,

ADHD is a problem and there is a person in our family with it. He has to take 1 pill a day that helps a lot. Your regular doctor can help you as you don't need a psychiatrist. Please talk to your doctor and just so you know there are many people with this problem or similar problems. I have to take Lexapro for anxiety. My dad was also bipolar, so yes many people have these type of problems.

Your question makes little sense because you change subject so often, so yes, it's a problem.
