Looking for rubric that relate to inconsistant mental focus. Case involves a child that can focus well on certain things but not others. Focus seems to be driven by subject matter not environment (time of day, people, food, location, etc).
So far - I am stuck at Mind - Concentration - difficult (with it's specifics) , Mind-Comprehension - difficult (which is under dullness - not a good fit at all), Mind - Inconsistant etc.
Since so many of you have experience with individuals diagnosed with ADD - I was hoping you may have located more appropriate rubrics. Or perhaps you might suggest remedies that I should put on my 'must read' list.

Thank you in advance.

You should try to get deeper. Which subject can he focus on and which not. Is he lazy, is is dullness, is it a mental problem, is it ennui etc? There are many remedies and your rubrics are too general and therefore you need to see what is behind

Mose,
Thank you. This question was only to ask for rubric assistance concerning
one very specific aspect of a full case. This single aspect is of course
only one small part of the total picture. And of course, the 'deeper'
questions lead to other aspects of the case. I asked the list for
assistance since they represent a wealth of experience and variety of
training. Often someone has brilliantly deducted - or stumbled across - an
alternate wording or concept, or has found a poorly represented but
interesting possibility that can inspire better reping, reading and remedy
selection for an individual.

I am curious that you seem to dismiss a rubric that is 'too general'. A
few well selected general rubrics can be wonderful tools when using Radar.

I would say, not knowing any of the particulars, that this is not
necessarily pathology. Don't we get to choose what we want to focus on
and what not?

With this in mind, I would try to discover if the patient only focuses
on one thing (ever) or one thing at a time.

If there is only one thing ever, then that may be obsession and you will
need to prepare yourself for a possibly long case.
