Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs in the brain. Its 3 main symptoms are inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
Attention Deficit: Age-related lack of attention (difficulty sustaining attention), difficulty listening to others.
Impulsivity: Interferes with others frequently.
Hyperactivity: unable to stay still in one place but always in constant motion; Sometimes running or climbing with no apparent goal other than movement.
Some children naturally have a higher activity level than others. Children should not be classified as having ADHD simply because they are different from their friends or siblings. A key point in diagnosis is that symptoms should be similar in the home and school environments.
Doctors can spot ADHD children, with this defect after spending some time with them. But parents won’t accept it. Even in my hospital, I have seen many children, who came for other disorders, after watching for 5 minutes, and after explaining about this defect to the parents, tell that it looks like your child has ADHD, but they are not able to accept it. There are many people who scolded me with great anger, saying the giving the reasons that appeared to them that it’s just a little child, It gets better with age, we raised him a little too fondly, he was born after a long time. But a few years later, the same parents, you told me then, feel guilty that we didn’t listen, and the children are brought in for ADHD treatment.
There is no need to fear if the child has this defect. “If this defect is detected in childhood, it can be corrected. Otherwise, the child will have to grow up with this defect. A study says that one in three children with ADHD will grow up with this problem!
People with ADHD are smarter than other children. The greatest strength of people with ADHD is their IQ level! An average person has an IQ of 100-110; However, it can exceed 130 for those with ADHD.
If this intelligence is channeled in the right way they will later become great achievers and their lives will be very good. It is in our hands.
