When my DS was diagnosed with ADHD-I, we told him that he had an amazing ability to notice everything around him, and that this ability comes in really handy in a lot of situations and a lot of careers and in life in general. But we told him that it doesn't always work so well for school because teachers only want you to pay attention to what they are saying or showing and not to the other 10 cool things going on in the classroom. So, while his ability to notice things was amazing and great, we needed to help him focus on just the one thing at a time in class. This way, we said that there was nothing wrong with him, just something challenging about a particular situation - school. Do you think something like that might help your DD?
