[quote=Anonymous]OP here .  DD had the typically "daydreamy" inattentiveness plus the forgetfulness with school assignments and inability to get things accomplished at school or home in any reasonable length of time. Her teachers really started to call it to our attention more and more after 2nd grade, and it got bad in 3rd grade.   She also had extreme hyperfocus/tunnel vision in other areas (reading) - she was kind of a textbook case.

I think DS seems fine so far at school, but then again, he's only in 1st grade and has very little rigorous work and almost no homework.  He likes school and thinks school work is fun.  He just can't seem to get or stay on task and he's like a Mexican jumping bean all the time.  He's constantly up from the table at meals or 'forgetting' to finish his food - today, he jumped up from breakfast and started to take off to the playroom, so I said "where are you going? Your breakfast is here!" He was like "oh, yeah! breakfast!" and sat back down to eat.  Honestly, I feel like his brain is a jumbled up mess.  Is that normal for a little guy or does it sound like something more is going on?[/quote]
