ADD. You might have noticed from Jims thread that I confessed that I have ADD. The version I have is called hyperfocus. It is much worse in childhood and comes with a preloaded package of internal 'jumbling'. The world is strange and stability is preferred. Boys seem to suffer more than girls and anxiety arises with change. I do have to tell you that I have found it a great gift too, your imagination never leaves, there is a creative 'whack' to it and the ability to pay attention and dedicate to the task in hand. There are some issues too, but with management then it's likely to diminish the negatives.
Just as one parent would deal with naughtiness without tattling to the other, then so deal with the ADD. My D used to say 'leave V alone she is in her dream world' and a very nice world too. The only time to concern is if education is interrupted because of it, as dreamy kids aren't usually troublesome in class then they aren't ridden. In addition it's harder to have friends but friends made become inseparable which can also be an issue too I think. It gets easier as I get older too.
S11 will enjoy the adult company around him, especially you and grandad. Just watch the changes as he stabilises. Tons Vanilla
ADHD is a different animal altogether and I know very little about it.
