It is amazing how much can be missed. Especially, if I am having a series of them. I do have longer ones where I can miss quite a bit of what is being said. I think that my mind is just doing a normal wandering thing but I miss everything and if I am thinking of anything, my mind goes there, while my body is still in the middle of the conversation (or car).

As for the diagnostics, I have had an initial assessment by my neurologist. I have one diagnosis of ADD. I have also had a sleep deprivation test, which I will get the results of on Friday. A week from Monday, the 28th, I am having an MRI.

My family has always thought that I was flaky but they are now realizing that I am quite intelligent and my issues have been holding me back. It wasn't understood when I was going to school to be both gifted and special ed. They didn't know what to do with me so it was remedial classes for me. I was beyond bored.
