My DD still does what I call the 'Trips to outer space' at times but she is not ADD/ADHD according to her tester who is a very qualified and highly regarded NJ tester. DD also used to be more synesthesic around numbers than she currently is - I think she has learned to suppress it a bit - sometimes I wonder if it is a bit like children having imaginary friends that they grew out of...
I think that some kids get entranced by their own thoughts at times and this never goes away entirely. I myself find my thoughts can display almost a Brownian Motion trajectory through a train of thought at times. Listening/watching something especially interesting can open windows of insight and connections to related but sometime tangential areas that almost fractally spin off sub trains of thought. I wander more than wonder at times :-)
Does your DD6 find the school material appropriately paced and engaging?
