[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 342720, member: 3444"] Not trying to be devil's advocate here, but this is exactly what ADD/ADHD kids do. They focus on things that are highly engaging to them. It's when things are boring, routine, mundane that they truly have difficulty attending and maintaining that focus. on the other hand... I also agree with you Heather that the therapist should have gathered input from multiple areas of difficult child's life. That's standard procedure on many of these rating tests... they look at home, school, as well as the self report. Finally, attentional issues can manifest due to a whole host of other disorders, anxiety being a biggie. I guess the real question here is what will the next step be, based on this "[I]diagnosis[/I]"? [/QUOTE]
