I suppose "being out in left field" wouldn't be a bad thing if your daughter played outfield for a softball team.

You might want to checkout our printables for your daughter's coach.

Also, if you just start browsing the ADHD Basics section, you are sure to hit on something that will be helpful in explaining the diagnosis, including information about hyperfocus.

I hope this helps, Dena

She should see both the college disability services office, and someone in the counseling center. (I do the former job)She may be entitled to accommodations that could help out a great deal. The counseling center can help her with focus and attention skill building and/or exploring the possibility of medication. Many effective meds can be taken only as needed and make a huge difference. If the diagnosis was made without a full psychological evaluation or utilizing a recognized ADHD evaluation tool, she should have that done as well - by a good psychologist. Often there are other associated issues, like learning disabilities, or sometimes there is misdiagnosis and it is something else, like depression or an auditory processing disorder. Be sure she had a good, thorough evaluation, not just somebody she saw for a 5 minute appointment. That will come with further recommendations for intervention.
