Thanks for the replies

AngelPunks - I've order a couple of books, one specifically for women with ADD (apparently we're underdiagnosed)

Mantaray - AD/HD seems to be hereditary. My Mum thinks she may have it (this from the a woman you'd think was the most organised in the world - turns out she's overfunctioning to compensate). I think my Dad may too (he's definately Aspergers or something IMO & they seem to be linked)

I've figured it's not the end of the world - I've managed to get 3 degrees with it (though if I'd known the angst/procrastination/ late night cramming/ last minute assignment drama was ADD related I might have been able to get more help ). I seem to have evolved behaviour that helps manage it anyway, without knowing I had the label. I don't want to use it as an "excuse", but more to understand why I am the way I am and find ways to deal with it. I'll look into the food intolerance thing too - that looks useful. It's just weird - being dx at 35!
