ADHD - Ezrick Jason, and Kye The ADHD Academic @theADHDacademic “Sometimes #ADHD isn't just having too many tabs open in your brain and not knowing where the music is coming from. It can also be having too many tabs open and they're all loading, so you're stuck with too much and too little at the same time.” ADHD is a chronic condition including attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. ADHD often begins in childhood and can persist into adulthood. It may contribute to low self-esteem, troubled relationships, and difficulty at school or work. Symptoms include limited attention and hyperactivity. The main signs of inattentiveness are Do you have a short attention span and or are you easily distracted Do you make careless mistakes – for example, in schoolwork Do you appear forgetful or do you lose things Are you unable to stick to tasks that are tedious or time-consuming Do you appear to be unable to listen to or carry out instructions Are you constantly changing activity or task Do you have difficulty organizing tasks The main signs of hyperactivity and impulsiveness are: Are you unable to sit still, especially in calm or quiet surroundings Are you constantly fidgeting Are you unable to concentrate on tasks Are you prone to excessive physical movement excessive talking Are you unable to wait their turn Do you act without thinking Do you find yourself interrupting conversations Do you have little or no sense of danger Related conditions in children and teenagers with ADHD Anxiety disorder which causes your child to worry and be nervous much of the time; it may also cause physical symptoms, such as a rapid heartbeat, sweating and dizziness oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) this is defined by negative and disruptive behavior, particularly towards authority figures, such as parents and teachers conduct disorder this often involves a tendency towards highly antisocial behavior, such as stealing, fighting, vandalism and harming people or animals depression sleep problems finding it difficult to get to sleep at night, and having irregular sleeping patterns autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) this affects social interaction, communication, interests and behavior epilepsy – a condition that affects the brain and causes repeated fits or seizures Tourette's syndrome a condition of the nervous system, characterized by a combination of involuntary noises and movements (tics) learning difficulties – such as dyslexia Related conditions in adults with ADHD personality disorders conditions in which an individual differs significantly from the average person in terms of how they think, perceive, feel or relate to others bipolar disorder a condition affecting your mood, which can swing from one extreme to another obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) a condition that causes obsessive thoughts and compulsive behavior Depression The behavioral problems associated with ADHD can also cause problems such as difficulties with relationships and social interaction. ADHD doesn't disappear just because symptoms become less obvious—its effect on the brain lingers.” Some adults who had milder symptom levels of ADHD as children may have developed coping skills that address their symptoms well enough to prevent ADHD from interfering with their daily lives. Is ADHD a form of autism? Autism spectrum disorder and ADHD are related in several ways. ADHD is not on the autism spectrum, but they have some of the same symptoms. And having one of these conditions increases the chances of having the other. early play @earlyplay Research has found that children who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #ADHD get significant relief from their symptoms and are able to concentrate better if they spend some time outdoors. ~ The National Wildlife Federation Päivi Butcher ADHD/Autism Advocate @Finnattentive Knowing that you should go to bed, but not wanting to, because sleep is boring and 'me time' is fun.
