| OP, sorry but I don't know what you are talking about. Your first sentence does not make any sense. |

| Give her a vacuum cleaner and some Windex and let her have at it! |

OP, I think Adderall can make some people more energetic and along with more focused. This could explain her wanting to clean.
On the other hand, a lot of people use cleaning as a means of procrastination from doing other, more cognitively demanding tasks. Is she cleaning but doing her academic work well? Or is she cleaning instead of staying focused on her schoolwork? |

"They" might prescribe it but you decide if she gets it. |

| Sure. It's an amphetamine. Lots of women in my family took speed to get in the mood for cleaning. It can make you a little OCD about it. |

| Why in the world would you allow your child to take medication for a disorder you're not sure she has? |
