Inattentive Attention Deficit Disorder: Attention Deficit
Without Hyperactivity.
This form of Attention Deficit Disorder often
presents itself on the other end of the energy spectrum from the
Classic ADHD type. Where the classic ADHD person is hyperactive,
this type can be quite hypoactive.
The Inattentive Attention Deficit Disorder person can be sluggish,
slow moving and difficult to motivate. These are the daydreamers
who spend much time with their heads in the clouds or in a brain
fog. They are disorganized.
This type shuts down when too many demands are made on their
ability to listen, focus, concentrate and learn. This type has
trouble listening and registering the content when others talk to
them. When tasks become to difficult, they simply blank out and
the harder this type tries to concentrate, the worse the
“shut-down” becomes. This type can miss large gaps in learning.
Since this type quietly goes about their business instead of
grating on the nerves of everyone around them, the Inattentive
type of Attention Deficit Disorder often goes undiagnosed. People
with this “quiet” form of Attention Deficit are often labeled as
lazy, defiant or uninterested instead of given the help they need
to overcome their Attention Deficit problems. The inattentive type
of Attention Deficit Disorder is seen most often in girls.
