This is not new for him, but seems to be getting worse and affecting his work more and more. He's fine, engaged, contributes etc when being taught, but struggles to focus when set tasks to work on independently in class. Several teachers reporting this as an issue at parents evening. He's not chatting with mates, or being silly, just staring out of the window. He's like this at home too - is always having to be chivvied to do anything. He has always seemed to have a lot going on in his head - talks to himself, taps out rhythms all the time, is quite fidgety etc.
I'm getting a bit worried for him - I'm going to talk to school, but what can they do? Does anyone have any experience?
Thanks.
