     As the mother of *three* adult's that were diagnosised with "hyper-
     activity" as children, I can tell you that adult ADHD *does* exist.
     Each and every symptom that my grandsons have [who are ADHD], my three
     adult children have. One, who is 30 years old, still rocks in his sleep.
     The oldest still has trouble focusing on things and the younger one
     still runs from his problems. And it is not "bad parenting". I have 
     five other children that do not have any of these symptoms. They were
     all raised the same way. The oldest son has been to a doctor who does
     feel he is ADHD and he is 35 years old. He is being considered for 
     medication. None of them are bi-polar [I have foster children that
     have this condition so I am familiar with it]. I have also raised 20
     foster children so I have been around children of all ages for a very
     long time. I also have 27 grandchildren, 7 of which are ADHD. I think
     you need to re-evaluate your thinking about adult ADHD.
