From "Meet the Iconics: Altronus":
"While Altronus did not excel at his studies the way his family had hoped, neither did he do poorly, and most people chalked his merely adequate results up to his relative youth. In truth, Altronus was indeed an excellent scholar, simply one who had trouble focusing on a single topic for long. Inevitably, some interesting fact in his studies would pique his interest and draw his research off into unrelated sidetracks. This broad, self-directed education made him adept at making connections between disparate fields, yet earned him little love from traditionalist teachers who saw his scattered studies as a failure to focus and a deliberate rejection of tried-and-true scholarly practices."
That kind of sounds familiar to me, rapidly changing interests and not doing well at things that don't currently interest you is bad for your grades I know that from experience
Do you have the same theory, have never thought about it or disagree?
From that small quote I can't properly diagnose, but living with several roommates with AD(H)D, it sounds familiar, but I'd need to see if it's structural enough to classify as AD(H)D. I mean, pretty much everyone can identify with that little chunk of text, but AD(H)D has many more components than just easily distracted or quickly changing interests.
