[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 436676, member: 1550"] I took all of your advice and looked up executive function disorder, and it seems to go with ADD/ADHD. She has every single deficit except behavioral ones. She is actually very smart about behavior and does think about consequences: "No way will I ever smoke or use drugs. That's stupid, especially since I'm an athlete." She is not particularly impulsive. She does not act first, think later...I am very confused. But everything else fits. She forgets her things at home and I have to bring them to school. She loses things. She turns the house upside down looking for things, then finds them in her school locker. Her room looks like Hurricane Katrina. Her brother will help her clean it, but a week later it looks the same. She doesn't do a very good job of knowing where to put things and when she cleans herself, the room has things stuffed in the closet etc. She has a good memory for things she has done physically, but a poor one for remembering facts and math formulas. Trying hard doesn't help her. Does this make sense to anybody? Also, it says these kids learn best with visuals and with word prompts that they can remember. Sorry to keep posting. I'm just now learning how bad a problem Jumper has. She could get by until high school :/ [/QUOTE]
