Do you know that when I was a child, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF BEING SCOLDED, when a child's attention is the most focused, I would 'zone out'? That's right, in the MIDDLE of being scolded or disciplined, I would lose focus on the topic.
If that is not ADD, I don't know what is.
Thanks for exposure to that information. Because of the medicine I am now on, I can read it without losing concentration and flitting off to another, more stimulating task. ;^)
