Adult adhd

So my doctor said to me the other day that ADHD/ADD is only a childrens disorder and that adults cant have it. I for one highly disagree but was wondering about how others felt regarding Adult  ADD/ADHD. All opinions are welcome but PLEASE be considerate about others thoughts and feelings.

ADHD are two Different disorders easyest way to explain the Difference is
ADHD is high energy
ADD is more lethargic

As we grow into adults some of the symtoms will be less glaring and maturity if you will, offers natural coping skills that only intergrate with adult hood.

Try talking to your school counselor.  They should have experience in dealing with this and parents.  Plus your parents might listen to them.
