I don't think so because the school has never said anything, because she sits quietly at every official meal, can sit through an entire mussaf in shul Rosh Hashana without batting an eye, etc.

I get that. My oldest is very different from me and it was very triggering to me until I healed. Much as I always loved her.

Next to a 5 parent many children can appear to have add.

I do know some 7s that have a knack to a single subject. | yes, I guess everyone's strong points are somewhere else. Mine was always vocabulary. I like to detect the root of words. But I think it's because I'm tri-lingual?

Sounds like possible ADHD

Could a child with ADHD be one of the best behaved child in class (as per her teachers), never talk in public, go to shul for 5 hours and sit quietly and daven, same at sheva brachos, etc.? I will take her to be evaluated if that's the case and if it can help her, but I have siblings like her too and they do not have ADHD.

And the food you prepare...
I think if someone doesn't have a 7 in their life they're missing out.

Dh is a seven and I concur. Food is his love language.

Afraid of what? She just loves fun. She is just here to have friends and fun and glitter and food.

I don't think that you need to take the ADD route.
In the chassdidish world even a girl has ADD she will be able to get decent grades in school and she will make it.
I think the focus has to be on giving her understanding and valuing her for what she is.

It presents very differently with girls. I was shocked too.

Never talk in public?
Because she's shy, or because it isn't acceptable?

Messy isn't 7. Messy is messy. Like my students whose papers are flying on the windowsill.
Distractable and messy are making us think ADHD.
She sounds like a funny, spunky kid!
Please give her a huge hug and tell you how much you love her!!!
On the other hand, I can't imagine a kid who is like this at home being described as the best kid in school... Unless the teacher is inflating everything? Because the needy and distracted part don't do well in school.

It's really inappropriate for me to discuss my child or anyone's child like this, a violation of their privacy.

I'm not saying the occasional shy or reserved, but how long can a 7 stay quiet!
My son (not a 7) is very calm, and can behave quite well, but he most probably has add. And yes, he is not the neatest, and can leave his stuff scattered. Although he is bh getting older and a bit more responsible, so the messes aren't as bad anymore.
