[QUOTE="Malika, post: 540291, member: 11227"] That's interesting, SuZir! Good in a way to know that there are others like J... though of course I am sorry that you have had the troubles with your son that you have had. I think the popular understanding here is that ADHD must necessarily involve a deficient capacity to concentrate. J is inattentive in the sense that his attention readily flits from one subject to another but when he needs or wants to, like your son he will concentrate, even on boring tasks. He saw his first psychologist at the tender age of 18 months, in Morocco, and she told me at that point that he could not be ADHD because of the way he interacted with her and the way he focused on tasks... and that is a comment that has been made to me many times since, by one professional or another. So maybe he isn't ADHD as they define it... maybe he is just hyperactive and impulsive but that still leaves him/me/us with all the problems of that! [/QUOTE]
