[quote=Anonymous] That's a great question, OP. My son's friend with inattentive ADHD gets discouraged easily and always appears uninterested. Part of it is the low-self-esteem generated by the ADHD I'm sure, but I have also wondered whether there isn't some dyslexia going on, which would contribute to shunning everything involving reading. My son with inattentive ADHD, on the other hand, is very persistent in the things he likes! He is capable of "hyperfocusing", which is also a component of ADHD. He also has some Asperger's tendencies, which makes me wonder whether the persistance might be due to that. So to answer your question: I don't know :-) [/quote]
