    The AAADD Symptoms

    The AAADD Symptoms

    Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Read about the guy who got diagnosed with it and see if things seem familiar to you, too!

    Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:

    I decide to water my garden.

    As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

    As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

    I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

    I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

    So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

    But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

    I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left.

    My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

    I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

    The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

    As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water.

    I put the Coke on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

    I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

    I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

    I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

    I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

    So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

    Then! , I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

    At the end of the day:

    the car isn't washed

    the bills aren't paid

    there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter

    the flowers don't have enough water,

    there is still only 1 check in my check book,

    I can't find the remote,

    I can't find my glasses,

    and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

    Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I'm really tired.

    I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail....

      Re: The AAADD Symptoms

      As a 67 year old guy; I can vouch for that symptom! A personal example:

      A couple mornings ago, I was sitting at the kitchen table, having coffee and listening to my wife relate an incident that had happened to her the day before. So, as I listened intently; I suddenly stood up and started walking over to the windows overlooking the backyard. Just before arriving at my destination; I stopped and turned to acknowledge to my wife that I was still listening to her! Shortly her story was finished and I turned to proceed to go to my destination. The only problem was that I no longer remembered where I was headed or what I intended to do when I got there!

      So, after a few moments of trying to recall why I was going somewhere; I turned and went back to my seat at the table. On the way back I told my wife that I will probably remember once I sit down.

      Sure enough! I just sat down and bingo; there it was! I had noticed a blind that was miss positioned and I was headed over to straighten it !!

      So, AAADD really does exists!

            I don't think of it as a disorder, but a way of life.
