I don't have ADD (at least I don't think so), but every single one of those can apply to me.

Then again, this explains a lot. I've always wondered how I can "space out" and be able to do almost anything and ignore everything else around me until I am done. It is not unusual for me to start working on something at like 8 or 9 PM and not stop until I am being forced to bed at 3 or 4 AM by my parents. If it were not for this, I can easily work 24 hour shifts several days a week to get stuff done.
