Anyone have a ADD boy who they noticed as a preschooler and what did you notice?Polly
I have an ADD gifted boy, now 11 years old. I knew something was "different" about him as a preschooler but didn't know what (he was only officially diagnosed this year).
He had great concentration as a pre-schooler for things he enjoyed like reading, drawing, going to theatre, listening to music, etc.
I had several teachers in the early years (3-6 years old in Montessori) mention behavioural issues that I now know are ADD hallmarks (not wanting to do work that didn't interest him, not answering/hearing when spoken to, sensory issues like walking in circles, trouble with modulating his level of arousal, trouble with transitions, social difficulties, trouble following instructions, losing things) and at the same time say, "but he doesn't have ADD because he can concentrate so well!"
