[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD isn't really about energy. It is an executive functioning disorder. It is more about not being able to plan or organize or manage time or focus on keeping track of things (working memory) or getting distracted. It isn't about too much go, it is about not enough stop and the challenge with mental inhibition. The hyperactivity is more of a mental or physical overstimulation than just high energy. It often affects friendships and the ability to function well at school or in sports or in other activities as the executive function center struggles. [/quote] this is not entirely accurate. one of the indicators can be a child always on the go or like they are driven by a motor. this would be for the hyperactive type. [/quote]
