I know this isn't the focus and don't want to derail, but I wonder if the inattention has more to do with slow processing speed than working memory--forgive me if I'm remembering wrong.
My 2e dysgraphic was good at forgetting lots of stuff--some things because he just didn't want to waste the energy thinking in that direction right now, thank you. He had trouble switching off of things and initiating things. It seemed to be related to getting himself in gear. If the classroom is fast moving, or if he has learned that as soon as he gets into it, he'll have to switch gears, I could see a lack of sustaining attention.
See, this is exactly my suspicion of what really is going on. But I sort of have to wait and see - is this it and he will "get better"? or does he have the real deal and physically needs meds? I really think I do have to wait and see, you know? Thanks MON!
In meantime... I guess we need to do something....(and I need to get the offical Dx just in case we need to try the meds).
