Hi JenSMP, I think every time I read your posts you are spying on my DS7. LOL
I was just reading about this last night in "The Mislabeled Child" by DRs Eide. Yes this is my Bible. They talk about selective attention on page 208 and 209 as well as sustained attention on p.209. Also in the gifted section starting on p.431 they address this. Reading through it is very, very reassuring. We were told that our DS7 does not have ADHD though he mimics the signs. We were told he has SPD but in the book, they say that "Gifted Children also often are hightly sensitive to environmental, internal, and emotional stimuli and may become overwhelmed by intense or prolonged sensory input." (TMC pg.436) I'm pretty sure that is what our SPD dx states. So does he have SPD, ADHD, or just truly a normal/average Gifted child?????
