Not in that type of sense. This happens to me if someone is talking to me and I am watching TV, I don't and can't pay attention to the person talking.
I mean, usually AD/HD, more H than AD, the teacher notices if the student is acting/blurring out, if the student is not paying attention/daydreaming, etc.. These symptoms aren't because of AD/HD, but because the gifted student is bored and wants to be entertained. Well, that's what i read somewhere.
