MD and attention deficit hyperactive disorder

[Dr AC]

Hi everyone:

As a child my MD so greatly affected my concentration, short-term memory and learning ability. This was so bad that they had to take out of school!

This was mid 1960's (yes, I'm an old-timer lol) so ADHD was not even heard of (at least in my community!).

The teachers and my parents just thought I had very poor intelligence.

I stopped MD for some reason as I got older, and my problems greatly improved!

However about 5 or 6 years ago I started back with MD, shaking my stick (stereotypy-stimming) annd going off into fantasy for hours on end!

The concentration , memory problems have returned.

I recently contacted prof. Somer and he very kindly alerted me to the comorbidity between MD and ADHD.

I would be extremely interested in anyone else's experience with this or similar problems.

Thank you DrAC
