11. What Did I Tell You?

A while ago (more like a week or two ago) I posted descriptions of all the possible mental disorders I might have, and the first I listed was Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). As it turns out, I actually DO have ADD. I told people, and they never believed me.
People aren't usually diagnosed with ADD this late in life, because it's usually pretty obvious in young children. Boys will be particularly physical, running around and hitting people, and girls will talk a lot. Both boys and girls, though, generally have poor grades because they can't pay attention. Because I've had good grades all my life, no one's suspected me of having ADD.
But the whole good grades thing was just because I'm pretty smart (not to sound overly-conceited). In elementary and middle school, I didn't have to pay attention to understand things, so my grades weren't affected. Now, though, I'm taking extremely difficult classes. And these classes require concentration and focus. I can't do that particularly well, and my grades are just starting to show it now. That's why it took so long for anyone--including myself--to realize that I actually have a disorder, and I'm not just lazy.
So, now I know about my problem/disorder/whatever you want to call it. Hopefully, now I'll be able to focus more and fail fewer classes (Calculus, you defeat me).

Here's a humorous and relevant cartoon about ADD:

Once again, I'm giving you guys information on ADD. You must be experts by now:
