What is ADHD??

Here's a taste of what I study/do...Enjoy (not!)... :)

BEHAVIOURAL DEFINITION OF ADHD (made simple!):

ADLIO-HI-CANS

Children with ADHD are often complained for their short ATTENTION SPAN, which make sense that they are eadily DISTRACTED in class. Due to that, they are also perceived to have poor LISTENING, which often leads to inability to follow INSTRUCTIONS. Because they are unble to follow simple guidelines, many at times they would have very limited ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS too. Now all these symptoms point them towards behaving in a HYPERACTIVE and IMPULSIVE manner. When they are unable to sit still and control themselves, it only make sense that they beccome more CARELESS, and somewhat unable to ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY by often blaming others. When they do ruminate in their avoidance for responsibility, they are in fact adopting NEGATIVE ATTENTION SEEKING BEHAVIOURS which result in poor SOCIAL SKILLS and lower SELF ESTEEM.
