My little girl is now 12 and we went through the same exact thing. It did interfere with her school work some but not as badly as I worried it would. She is generally and A, B student and when she brought home a C for the first time in her entire life on her report card, she was very disappointed and unhappy about it. She struggled the next 6 weeks but we seen improvement every week. There are still times at home when I can say go get me the camera off the top of the desk and she draws a blank...she looks at me like I am crazy. She will go to the desk and say, I didn't see it. This does not happen very often anymore, and I have noticed it's worse when she is concentrating on doing something else, reading a book for fun, listening to music, or just day dreaming. She is a wonderful kid though and still makes me proud. We shall see how she does this school year. She was upset she didn't get A, B honor roll for the year because of one class, but I think that is behind us now.
Good luck,
M.
