[quote=Anonymous]I think the constant movement is a stereotype but not an accurate descriptor of many ADHD kids. My child with ADHD combined is not in perpetual motion. He is wiggly/fidgety in some situations but not others. I know several kids with the same diagnosis and while they have their moments when it seems impossible to get them to turn their engine off, most of the time they are slouchy and slumpy. Most of the super active, on-the-go kids I know do not have ADHD.

When my son is stressed or bored he looks, and clearly feels, exhausted. When he has gone through bad stretches of anxiety I have often thought something was physically wrong with him because of how tired he was. Low energy, low muscle tone, exhausted all day. I am still not sure there is not an underlying medical issue but we have done tests and not found anything. Then when the anxiety gets better, so does his energy. In any case, if I were you, I would definitely look into medical causes both for the tiredness and the attention issues.[/quote]
