We get things done and we play together, but it can be a whole lot of doing one thing and then .. "Squirrel!" and we're off to another....
Hilarious! This is exactly how my DS12 has been his whole life. He's not hyperactive at all but he's always been super aware of every little change to his environment and, when he was little, just had to go check it out (and touch it, but that's another matter!). We started him on meds in the winter and have seen a bit of improvement (he can now speak a complete sentence without getting distracted by other thoughts in the middle, and he can now concentrate for longer periods when doing homework or practicing his instrument) but as our doc said, you usually see less dramatic changes with inattentive type ADHD than with hyperactive type. Anyway, just love the "Squirrel!" anology from UP!
