[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 635788, member: 14557"] Malika, with my help those periods he was able to sustain attention with outside motivation were quite long, even hours. Hyper focusing, even very long periods, to something one has internal motivation is quite typical for ADHD (and my difficult child certainly does that), but mine could, and can, turn on also quite normal level of attention without internal motivation for extended periods. He just doesn't seem to like it a lot. He is also able to multi task efficiently and was from early on able to follow even long and multiple tasks involving directions, if he wants to. As I said, I do assume it is bit taxing to him, because he isn't doing it all the time and still needs motivation to do so, but he can. And that was a reason his evaluation team didn't think he had an ADHD either when he was five or when he was re-evaluated just before he hit his teens. He was close to the line of diagnosis, but those things in his attention management and his over all functioning tipped the scale to other direction. [/QUOTE]
