[quote=Anonymous] It can be ADHD, just one type of it. My husband and son do this to and they are both diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type. ADHD means that it's impossible to focus all day for everything. Therefore people with ADHD try to prioritize - most manage to get their act together for their work, some with the help of meds. Children are diagnosed because they don't have a developed sense of what they should be prioritizing their attention on, therefore they forget homework, don't listen in class, etc, even while being hyperfocused on their video games. However, that focus costs them a ton of brain energy, and so whenever it feels "safe" to do so, or whenever they've reached their physical limit (not enough neurotransmitters), people with ADHD stop paying attention.
