I find this very true with Brad. His counselor said the thinghe notices most is when trying to talk to Brad, Brad will pick onething out of an entire sentance(s) and spin off in a whole newdirection from the conversation. He is easily distractedbecause his mind is always spinning and processingeverything. He is also very litteral-you have to watch wordlike "always' and 'never' etc because he will pick up on those wordsand go off in a differant direction explaining to you why "not always"or "not never"ADD kids don't have an "attention deficit",as the name suggests. If they did they'd never be able to pay attentionto anything. An ADD kid has hyper-attentiveness. Everythingcatches their attention! And some things are more attention-grabbingthan others. The key is to find something productive that they can payattention to and encourage them in it.
