Did anyone else have a weird experience with math? I could always do it in my head, really fast, get the answer, it's correct... But then I couldn't show my work or prove it, meaning it was useless. I'm curious if this is an ADHD thing? If so, does anyone know why?

My older daughter does this. You tell her a math problem. She'll blurt out the answer. Ask her how she got it, she doesn't know and can't explain it.
