HyperActivity

I have been a computer geek for years , I started when I was 9 actually . I was never able to concentrate on my school studies when the teacher was speaking out normally maybe because I used to think about something else , some imaginery things always came up in my mind .

I left school and concentrated on computer studies , now that i am 21 I am damm good with it and have 3 years of professional experience and I design one of the most complex computer networks in my city or country . I am team leader of my department .

My problem still remains same that I am always thinking of something , I am always on computers and i cant stop myself from learning new things , I have a large list of certifications at this stage . Somethimes my family tells me something and a later stage I tell them that you never told me this thing . This could be because I was thinking about something else . Its hard for me to sleep at night becuase I am making up imaginary things up in my mind related to computers and it takes time for me to sleep , sometimes I get up from BED at round 2:00 AM and start walking in coridoor thinking about imaginary things . But in reality I am 21 and I supervise major projects and my juniors are of 30 years old . I dont have friends ( just have 1 and we see each other once in a week ) and I dont like gatherings or being with couple of guys enjoying at the beach and making loud funs as other guys of my age have done .


Some people complained me that when they are telling me some problem related to work I start similing of no reasons and I am thinking about something else in my mind . Several people complained me that I talk to myself when walking , move hands when walking as if I am discussing things with someone . Also in times when I am doing something critical my heart starts beating at rapid speed and I am unable to calm down . I mostly walk around my house and think of things or I am with computer . I cant sit at one place still . I speak damm fast and when I am talking technical things other guys cant understand me because of my rapid speed in technical things , someone even refered to be as " Little Machine "


I have done research on internet and it looks a bit simillar to Hyper activity disorder . Can anyone clearify if this is the same thing I am thinking about or it is just because I have studied too much and practised too much computers in a early age . Maybe its Hyper Activity Disorder or its because I am a Computer Geek .

Hi

Welcome to the forum good to meet you. It could possibly be ADD but you would need to goto your doctor to see about getting a specialist you could diagnose ADD if that what it is.

I have Aspergers Syndrome and struggle with social interaction and as SC mentioned therapy does help with thses type of disorders. I wish you well and keep us posted.
