Introduction to ADHD
There are three primary characteristics of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD): inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. A child who only has inattentive symptoms is often overlooked because his behaviours are not disruptive. However, the consequences of inattention, such as not following directions, result in poor performance in school and difficulties forming positive social relationships with friends.
