[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 41713, member: 3527"] I can't tell you from a parent's perspective, but from a personal perspective, I was ADD child, but NOT ADHD. I felt like the biggest difference for me was that, while I still had problems staying on task and sometimes it was difficult for me to focus, I did NOT suffer from the Hyperactivity, or the horrible mood swings that I notice a lot of ADHD kids have. As far as the lights are on, but you are not quite there, that is very CLASSIC of ADD from what I understand. I think I read somewhere that while an ADHD child will lash out when they get frustrated, a child with ADD might just shut off and be completely spaced out. I know that to this DAY I still have problems with Spacing out...and my kids and my husband all get so frustrated, because they are sitting right next to me, having a conversation with me and I don't even know they are talking!!!!!
