DS does not pay attention well to things that do not interest him. It is pretty clear that the WM task on the WISC did not engage him. I believe it is remembering strings of numbers. The SB5 WM tasks were embedded in what DS considered really fun games. As I said, he got a ceiling score on the WM tasks for the SB5 and they were in line with his other scores. But in the WISC, there was a >50pt spread between his highest (VCI) and the WM!
This is basically how he is all the time, if he is interested and cares, he is amazing. But he has a hard time focusing to bring the right things from class to class or home in the evening. He has a hard time with easy problems and does great on the hard ones.
So, I don't know, is that 2e? We haven't ruled out ADD, since DH has it. But, except for us frequently getting frustrated with him for forgetting stuff, there has been no indication of it interfering with his life, so we haven't pursued the diagnosis yet. We keep it in mind, though, in case he does run into serious problems with his spaciness in the longer run. I know, Lorel, that you have kids with ADD. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.
