I was reading your Oct 15th post about your dd only having Adhd symptomes in one setting...school.
I think this is your second setting.
I love that you are grappling with the question of how much you can ask other adults to alter their habits to accomidate your child.
The not being able to intuit the other adults intention is common to both NVLD and ADHDI. It takes a lot of presence of mind for an 8 year old to ask herself 'what else might this adult want from me?'
Girls in particular are held to a higher standard of intuition than boys so it doesn't suprise me that other adults think she just isn't trying.
Love and more love
