[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is having similar issue. We are getting him screened for ADHD- inattentive. [/quote]

At this age it's the course load or the school.  Seriously you're just looking for drugs to solve the problem.  [/quote]

Not necessarily. I have SEVERE ADD - Inattentive.  I was regularly up until the middle of the night with HS course work. My senior year I took 5 different AP subjects and got 5's on them all (so it wasn't an intelligence issue) but I had terrible focus. I was not diagnosed until I was almost done with college, when one of my friends pointed out that while I understood material, I clearly jumped around topics as I spoke, zoned out, and otherwise regularly demonstrated a lack of focus. It was not regularly apparent before because everyone just assumed that I was distracted because I understood the material and was bored in HS. I just compensated through school with a high IQ, but I would have really excelled if people had realized that I had ADD earlier.[/quote]
