Thank wnp! But just to clarify, in your opinion, could the only explanation for this type of distraction be a form of ADD? I actually did a little research many years ago when D1 was young to see if the absent-mindedness (mine and hers) could be ADD. The literature then was ambiguous as to whether mental distraction in highly creative minds was the same as ADD…some said the conditions were often confused, others that it was really the same thing. I never considered medication for myself or D, because it really didn’t interfere with responsibilities/school to a worrying degree, but I do wonder about this.
