How can we really pinpoint the symptoms of ADD ? Do adults and children have the same signs ? Hopefully these brief facts that im gonna discuss will be of great help.
Attention Deficit Disorder Symptoms are not always obvious..
Though excessive talking or having trouble in playing any leisure activities are the most common ones. And of course, Impulsivity meaning they tend to blurt out answers way before the question is done tempting in a conversation. Most ADD patients struggles on waiting for their turn like falling in line, numbered counters etc. Attention deficit disorder symptoms can show a number of different ways and no two people whether for adults or children will present with the same symptoms of ADD. In addition to that theres a possibility that a person could present himself being passive while another person will completely be the opposite meaning he/she could be inattentive and cant be controlled and definitely some aggressive hyperactivity. Further signs for some kids with ADD or ADHD include difficulty in sustaining attention in certain task or assignments, not able to listen when directly spoken and some noticeably careless mistakes.
Informing people of the facts of the ADD condition will help them understand and relate more…
For most ADD Seminars i attented, parents are mostly concern on how their children will perform outdoors meaning in schools, with other people that are not aware of their condition. Because as we all know some kids can be harsh of their playmates, when they see something different from them making jokes about them and bullying them and it really affects children with ADD growing up struggling on how to fit in and make people inform and understand their condition.
Another sensitive raised question is What do bright students with innattentive ADD (ADHD) look like ? Children of above average intelligence, with few hyperactive/impulsive symptoms, typically pose no behavior problems in the classroom and often work hard to hide their ADD (ADHD) struggles especially if they are female. These children often do well in elementary school, where their intelligence more than compensates for the challenges posed by ADD. For some of these bright students, their unraveling begins in middle school when the demands for productivity, independence, and organization increase dramatically. This is a time when there is a sharply increased demand on the “executive functions” of the brain. Because most research on ADD (ADHD) has been conducted on elementary school aged children, we have not paid adequate attention to executive function problems associated with ADD (ADHD).
The possibility of ADD (ADHD) should not be rejected because your child is currently doing well academically. Even when academic performance is high, the hidden cost of ADD (ADHD) may be taking a toll. Gifted students with ADD (ADHD) often struggle with anxiety, even when grades are high. They may also suffer when required to do unnecessary, repetitive work that less gifted students may need, but which only serves as a frustration for a gifted student. Above all we must further i understand people ADD condition and relate to them more and love them, because most of them are really gifted and warm hearted like ordinary people.
