The inability to focus, starting one thing and then you get side tracked really easily, talking a lot, being extremely hyper active (minus coffee or caffeine), shaking, all of these can be signs of Adult ADHD...hope it helps

The symptoms of adult ADHD are the same as those experienced by children with ADHD, but it is usually more difficult to recognize these symptoms in adults.
The three primary characteristics of ADHD are:
Impulsivity
Hyperactivity
Inattentiveness
In adults with ADHD, these symptoms are usually described as impulsivity, distractibility, and restlessness. In many cases, individuals will have a history of failures in school and work or will experience bouts of anxiety or depression related to ADHD.
To be diagnosed with adult ADHD, the individual must:
Have symptoms that began in childhood.
Experience persistent symptoms that create problems in one or more life areas.
Exhibit current symptoms of the disorder.
