I have problems focusing.
During class, if I am not talking to the person next to me I fall asleep. I ALWAYS talk, no matter what. All my teachers write in my comments that I talk to much, I just can't help it I get so distracted and bored easily.
Also, I can't focus on one thing at once, if I do I end up frustrated and stop working, or start like flipping out because I don't get it.
I was wondering....do I have ADHD?

If you are getting less than five hours on average, you might want to get to bed earlier, or, if you're having trouble sleeping, you may consider talking to your physician about a possible sleeping disorder.
autumn answered Wednesday February 8 2006, 8:18 pm: you may have some kind of ADD, but you can try different methods of focusing. When the bell rings and class begins, try to take notes and concentrate with talking to others. If you always talk to the same people, then try sitting somewhere else for a day. If you didn't get the information in class, taking notes may help you later, when there are not some other distractions. Good luck! [ autumn's advice column | Ask autumn A Question ]

All my teachers hate me because of it and i dont have either ADHD or ADD. But you probably have ADD. If you cant focuss on things, Or you get frustrated than i would have to say thats ADD. But im not a professinal so i wouldn't know for sure. So i would tell your doctor and get tested for it.
