Attention Deficit
Without Hyperactivity:
Inattentive Type ADHD
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,
the inattentive type ADHD can be quite hypoactive.
The inattentive type ADHD 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.
Of all the
types of ADHD, this type shuts down when too many demands are made on their
ability to listen, focus, concentrate and learn. The ADD
inattentive 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.
While an ADHD
504 plan would likely benefit these students but
because they sit quietly in a corner daydreaming instead of
causing trouble, they are often not identified as needing a
504
ADHD plan.
Since the ADD inattentive type quietly goes about their business instead of
grating on the nerves of everyone around them, the inattentive
type ADHD person often goes undiagnosed. This type is the true
Attention Deficit Disorder type without hyperactivity. 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 ADD inattentive type
is seen most often in girls while boys more often have the
hyperactivity Attention Deficit Disorder type.
