DD9 has been said to "lock up" by her 2nd and 3rd grade teachers. The 3rd grade teacher, who was very experienced, said it might be those absence seizures. Eventually as DD improved, this teacher thought maybe it was just DD adjusting to the shock of actually being challenged in school for the first time.

DD does hyperfocus and requires her named to be called more than once before she will be drawn out of a book, for instance. Her 4th grade teacher said there are about 8 students in the class that are the same way.

Reports of this issue have died down so it is off the radar for now.
