Hi Kate,
I took a test like this when I was younger where an 'X' would flash on the screen at random and at random locations and you were supposed to press the space bar every time you saw an 'X'. Anyway, that test showed that I had ADD, but my pdoc at the time wasn't sure if I had ADD or not. My suspician is that since I suffer from several conditions and since at the time this wasn't known, he was left a little baffled -- plus he was an idiot and easily baffled! ;) At the same time, perhaps these other conditions caused me to score on the test in a way that indicated ADD. I don't know... my inclination is to see if my pdoc will prescribe a stim and see what it does before taking an expensive test but it would be nice to know for sure. However, is there really such a thing as for sure? Thanks for the suggestion!
Jon
