I thought "maybe she doesn't really have ADHD if she does this well without meds?" I was seriously confused. Later on I figured out she DID have her medication. Dh gave it to her before he went to work.

Before I got to the part that she actually had her meds I was thinking "computer." Apparently, computer games are unique in their delivery of consequences that really reach a peeson with ADHD ... Something like the immediancy and the several things going on at once? So, basically an person with adhd supposedly can concertrate for hours on a computer game without meds. Not sure if IXL would count as a computer "game," though. My DS does great on it, though. Very focused by it smile His computer vision therapy though - whooaaa excrutiating for him apparently smile
