ADHD symptoms
What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is also sometimes referred to as hyperkinetic disorder. This condition is a neurological-based disability, which causes a range of problems associated with behavioural difficulties and poor attention span.
This condition can be divided into inattention symptoms, hyperactivity symptoms and impulsivity symptoms. The hyperactive symptoms make it very difficult for people to sit still and control their behaviour. In many cases this leads to disruption in the class room and at home. This can often prevent people from learning and socialising well. A person with ADHD may also have trouble in:
- keeping their attention on tasks or when playing or working
- organising tasks and activities
- playing or working quietly
- disruptive behaviour
- interupting others
