Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder children and adults have symptoms in two main areas: the first is characterized by a poor attention span which tends to cause the sufferer to ignore details, make careless mistakes, have difficulty following instructions, listening, finishing tasks and they may appear to be forgetful, distracted and disorganized.
The other area is hyperactivity or impulsivity causing a person to be fidgety, have difficulty sitting still, talk excessively, interrupt others, have a tendency to be in constant motion and display a general sense of physical restlessness. While most of us exhibit some of these symptoms occasionally, a person with ADHD probably displays them more consistently and has done so since early childhood.
