It could be because she doesn't play much, but I still believe ADHD could be part of it. Maybe she doesn't get lost, per se, but rather that she doesn't pay enough attention to what around her character. I have ADHD , and distractability in video games is something very familiar to me. Sometimes, the correct route seems obvious to other people, but I can run around in circles for quite a time before realising I'm not going the right way. It's often a question of slowing down and observing carefully what's being shown to me on screen. I never played Crash Bandicoot, but in certain games, I need as much info as possible on the minimap if I want to orient myself correctly. Again, I don't think it's a matter of getting lost; I got a pretty good sense of orientation in everyday life. Navigating video games without getting distracted is something else entirely, though.
