What is ADHD?

adhd

A friend of mine has a 4 year old boy. The last time I saw them, the boy is doing all the rounds in the room. He cannot keep still. He is either running or shouting or tapping his fingers. At first I thought it was a usual 4 year behavior but my friend told me that her son has an ADHD. I am not quite familiar with it so I asked my friend what is adhd. According to her, it is an acronym for Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. She also told me that it is a developmental problem where the one suffering from it has a attentional problem and is hyper active. Another symptoms she said is difficulty focusing on one thing.

I have to excuse myself for the more detailed explanation of my friend. I don’t have enough patient to hear some of the more scientific terms, or maybe I also have ADHD for adults? I sometimes find it hard to focus on one thing. Oh, I hope I am not.

    hehe. i think there are tests to find out if you have ADHD. nope you don’t have one. you’re just a normal girl who wants to do everything all at once. we want to accomplish a lot of things and that’s how we are. we love to multi-task and if we don’t we’ll go crazy. hehehe
