La difficulté à prêter attention (déficit de l'attention) [...] est le symptôme principal. Les personnes atteintes de TDA sont facilement distraites, ce qui fait qu'elles ont de la difficulté à rester concentrées quand elles font des tâches ennuyeuses, comme les devoirs ou les corvées. Elles finissent très souvent par rêvasser ou se laisser distraire par des choses moins importantes. 2, record 1, French, - trouble%20d%C3%A9ficitaire%20de%20l%27attention
