[quote=Anonymous]For my 2e DD with inattentive ADHD, this tends to happen in the “easy” classes. Kid has been reading on a college level since about 5th grade, but had a B in freshman English. Just zoned out, couldn’t quite lock on to the teacher’s methods and expectations. Did the work in about 2 seconds and moved on to something more interesting, but couldn’t seem to get it turned in. Like it totally disappeared from her awareness as soon as it was done. Or had trouble with classwork because of sensory overload in a chatty classroom. If the work had been more challenging, she probably could have focused better and tuned it out. That sort of thing. I think harder classes fire up the brain and stimulate the dopamine, making it easier to focus. Easy ones just don’t stick for some reason. [/quote]
