I have a meeting with my psychiatrist in about two weeks: I'm going to talk to him about being formally tested for this -- that way I don't have to agonize.
I'm starting to think about it in terms of: my partner has an auditory processing disorder -- there's nothing wrong with her ears, but her brain itself has trouble separating out certain kinds of sounds. She has developed other skills to compensate for this, but it would be great if she could take a pill with no long-term side effects to give her that slightly better quality of life. I'm realizing that I don't have to be ashamed -- if I do have ADD, it's not a 'character problem,' just a neuropsych-biological issue that can be 'corrected.'
