Actually, I got away with a lot, I guess mainly because I was never disruptive in a hostile manner. I did try to go for laughs, though.
The only visit to the Principal's office I had was for being lazy, which I still am.

As someone with ADD, (NOT ADHD!), I've learned some traits which reflect ADD:
Strange combinations of thoughts, demonstrated by a warped sense of humor
Failure to accomplish in a day my goals, which I labelled "lazy."
"Absent-mindedness"
Non-disruptive, but "off-task" behavior in school
A tendency to be called "Bob," even though that's not my name.
Reject the treatment if you want to, but you might just want to see if you have ADD. I still have my warped humor, but I get a lot more accomplished in a day.
Oh, by the way, the "overdiagnosed" label is a fair somewhat true, but grossly exaggerated. When they tell you that 10 million prescriptions are written every year for ADD, what they don't tell you is that you have to get a new prescription written out every month because the medicine is a controlled substance. So that's really less than one million people receiving medication for ADD out of a population of 300 million.
