Uh oh.

I was looking at an article about ADHD today, because Caleb's teacher hinted that she thought that he might have it at the beginning of the year (I'm sure she has changed her mind; he has none of the symptoms). Anyway, as I read Inattentional ADHD (formerly known as ADD), I became concerned. Read this list:

Signs of inattention:
  • Has a hard time paying close attention to details
  • Makes careless mistakes in schoolwork or other activities
  • Daydreams, has trouble focusing her attention
  • Has difficulty listening to what's being said to her
  • Is easily distracted from tasks and play
  • Doesn't follow through on obeying instructions and fails to finish schoolwork or chores (but not out of rebellion or failure to understand)
  • Forgets things
  • Has trouble organizing tasks and other activities
  • Loses important things or items needed for tasks and activities, such as toys, school assignments, pencils, books
  • Avoids or strongly dislikes tasks (such as homework or games) that require sustained mental effort

If you know me, you're probably concerned, too. THAT'S ME!!!!! :/
