[quote=Anonymous]My 9-year old is constantly humming and singing. Constantly. In classroom, at home, at dinner, during homework, at bedtime. Sometimes she babbles nonsense, repeats commercials from the radio that her teacher sometimes plays in the classroom. This is not the singing-singing, it's a repetitive hum of whatever she heard lately. She's disengaged from everything she does, never listens to instruction in the classroom and leaves it all to the little one-on-one instruction her teacher sometimes provides after school, or the support we provide at home. You talk to her and she responds between hums, from afar. She is so remote at times, that she forgets where she is and acts completely inappropriately -- talks aloud in a classroom, takes over someone's work, stands up, walks around and finds a random "project", right in the middle of dinner, homework, school time. This used to be something that she'd do like any other kid, when tired, but now it has taken over all her school activities, and afternoon practice.

Anyone else deal with this? Is it an avoidance technique? Is it feeling overwhelmed? Is it meds no longer working? Her ADHD never manifested like this before in her. I feel like she uses about 1/4 of her brain in any given activity, and in 4th grade, this is getting really hard.
