My son is SO a type 3. I found it fascinating that the article mentions that type 3’s are found in the NVLD population , as he has some mild NVLD traits. never enough for a diagnosis, but this description sure fits!

Thank you for the heads up on the article. I am looking for information regarding ADD and interested to know different possible explanations and views. It was interesting as it relates to how these students sustain their attention in the classroom. She stated that even people without attention disorders go back and forth switching between activities. Only with ADD people it’s in the amount of time it takes to switch between activities. They go from extremes of being overengaged and underengaged and it’s hard for them to switch.
There are many factors to consider when it comes to best dealing with attention in the school setting.
I guess it is important to use a variety of lessons or activities depending on the setting and to avoid too much writing. It also appears to be important to be flexible in different circumstances and that is a hard thing to do.
