[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 525637, member: 11791"] I just shake my head sometimes at the misperceptions "us" ADD/ADHDers have to put up with. Because it really is not about a deficit of ability to pay attention... it's far more about having difficulty managing distraction and [I]managing focus[/I]. Break the concentration and focus of an ADD/ADHD child, and you may end up with a major reaction - not because they are "all over the place" but because you broke the stream of concentration, broke the "flow". Some ADHDers don't get to that "flow" point - their ability to manage distraction is so low, the distractions always intrude. Maybe those kind "can't sit still for an hour"? [/QUOTE]
