Hi, Hope someone can help me with this. I have been reading up on Inattentive ADD recently as a lot of the symptoms seem to fit my 15yr old girl, she has always had a lot trouble focusing on things she isn't keen on, like homework, remembering tasks & never seems to be able to learn from her mistakes - but she is extremely outgoing, makes friends easily, has great social skills, is really keen on certain kinds of learning & teaching methods, she is on all the school sports teams for example. Recently she has gone off the rails a bit and started drinking alcohol with her friends & for the last year it has been an increasingly difficult battle to get her to put a meaningful effort into schoolwork, some of her teachers recognize this but say she participates well in class. Is this typical of a 15 yr old with Inattentive ADD???
