prettygoodwordaprosexia - n., an abnormal inability to pay attention.
Note, however, not an inability to pay attention to you -- inability to pay attention to anything. It, like paraprosexia (inability to focus on any one thing, resulting in complete distraction) and hyperprosexia (concentrating on only one thing, to the exclusion of everything else) are associated with brain trauma. Pronounced ah-proh-SEK-see-ah. Coined from Greek roots, a-, not + prosexia, attention, from pros, to hold.
