Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is a development disorder that typically begins early in life. Children and adults with ADHD can exhibit different behavioural traits. However, the most common trait in Children is difficulty in concentration, restlessness, forgetfulness and hyperactivity. In children and adults this may affect them in their relationships, home life, school or workplace.
Children and adults diagnosed is ever increasing for multiple reasons. It is estimated that around 6-7% of children are diagnosed with ADHD. Typically the symptoms of ADHD improve as the child gets older. However, a large portion will still exhibit traits of ADHD in their adult life. Many adults with ADHD have never been diagnosed.
Many people focus on the difficulties of ADHD, but it is important to remember the many abilities and the personality traits of the person. Often those with ADHD exhibit bright, high energy personalities, they can be highly driven and can at times become great leaders and innovators.
