>regulating attention is the problem.

Thanks for your comment. I see this in my son, who shows signs of having ADHD. He is able to hyper focus on areas of interest which seems contrary to having ADHD. Less desired areas of interest are much harder for him to deeply focus. I try to see this as an advantage and hope that someday he will be able to exploit his hyper focus and learn to manage his distracatablity.
