  • The symptom of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) falls in 3 categories: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. During social interactions inattention will become visible where the person cannot pay attention to details and is careless, shifts frequently from one incomplete activity to another and will miss on daily routine. Hyperactivity varies with age like preschoolers are in more constant motion compare to higher age and they are restless. In Impulsivity they become impatient, cannot wait for ones turn and intrude in other work and mattes.

  • i would go with WaylonRonaldo on this, but be careful not to "home diagnose" your child. it's a very dangerous thing to do. there has to be a process of differential diagnosis in order to avoid a mistaken diagnosis of ADHD. and that should do a specialist. a group of specialists in fact.
