[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 515788, member: 7664"] I have one child with severe attention and hyperactivity/sensory issues- although it is infrequent, even he can concentrate for short periods on something that interests him. One of my other sons has a very hard time paying attention to auditory instruction/lectures, struggles tremendously with written materials, does better with visuals, but is an avid lego builder-hands on stuff. I think it is a matter of engagement/interest and perhaps for our younger adhd'ers those hands-on experiences are the main way they can process and pay attention-so it's not that they are choosing not to engage in the other activities..somehow they are not able.
