Answer
Is is very simple. If you think you might have ADD, see your usual medical practitioner and ask his opinion. If he feels it is warrented ,he will refer you to a specialist if he cannot do the evaluation himself. Either way you will have an answer. Being forgetful can be, but not neccesary part of the ADHD syndrome. If you are worried, check it!
