You are most welcome!

I'm a big believer in serendipity. It happened that way for me too. The lighbulb went off after reading something. I am also the inattentive type. Exactly as you described yourself, I can hyper-focus like there's no tomorrow IF I am interested or passionate about something. Or on deadline. But give me something boring or meh and I'm gone off to my own world. My Mom is still trying to teach me to cook our ethnic food, 60 years later! It just doesn't register.

My youngest son is more the hyper-active type with inattention. I can relate to your challenges with your daughter. But there is so much more knowledge and help now, fortunately.

There is a lot to learn and it's an adventure. I still fight overwhelm but am getting better. Not so much in the last 2.5 weeks of course but this too shall pass.

Wish you well! Remember, our hyper-focus is our secret weapon!
