[quote=Anonymous]OP- as weird as it sounds, my son's neuropsychologist said that perfectionism is a major feature of ADHD. Yes, I know it sounds strange because many view ADHD as lack of focus, disorganization, and all kinds of traits that are the opposite of perfectionism...but it's also characterized by hyper focus (another difficultly with regulating attention) and anxiety. Sometimes kids like my son are so afraid of failure that they can't transition their attention "away" from the thing they feel most insecure about or are obsessed with. My thought before looking into anxiety as a "stand alone" (and it certainly can be) is to consider whether there could be something more global. [/quote]
