'In soccer, he was only interested in learning what happened to his shadow when he jumped. He laid down in the grass so that he could inspect the blades. 'Focus!' we implored, again and again. I’m not sure if we were talking to him or making a wish.'
Since Lucas was old enough to talk, we’d had trouble with his behavior. We’d send him to pick up his shoes only to find him two minutes later sitting on the floor next to his shoes examining a piece of carpet fuzz. When we put him in soccer, he was only interested in learning what happened to his shadow when he jumped. He laid down in the grass so that he could inspect the blades, or dangled in the net of the goal while the other kids chased after the ball.
I understood their hesitation. Lucas was quick to learn and memorized things easily. When he was two, he committed to memory every word of. He thrived as a performer. He displayed incredible perseverance and dedication when it came to things he was interested in. Still, I didn’t want to be that annoying parent who says, “He behaves terribly because he’s highly intelligent and therefore bored.”According to my reading, Lucas exhibited nearly all the symptoms of ADHD.
