Understanding the Symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder

Since the school environment demands concentration, attention,
focus and extended periods of sitting still, teachers are often the
first to notice ADD symptoms. However, a physician will administer
a professional test of ADD symptoms before making a diagnosis
on the symptoms of ADD. Although the symptoms of ADD seem
fairly straightforward, several variances in diagnosis and rate
of prescriptions sheds light to the subjective nature of Attention
Deficit Disorder diagnoses. Though excessive talking
or having trouble in playing any leisure activities are the
most common ones. And of course, Impulsivity meaning they tend
to blurt out answers way before the question is done tempting
in a conversation. Most ADD patients struggles on waiting
for their turn like falling in line,numbered counters etc.
Attention deficit disorder symptoms can show a number of different
ways and no two people whether for adults or children will present
with the same symptoms of ADD.

Understanding people with ADD Condition, How do we relate to them ?

Parents should know that not every overly hyperactive, inattentive,
or impulsive child with the classic symptoms of ADD or ADHD has
Attention Deficit Disorder. Everyone, at some point in his or her life,
blurts out things they didn't mean to say, bounces around a number
of tasks or become disorganized and forgetful.

Question usually raised on ADD seminars i attented , parents are
 mostly concern on how their children will perform outdoors meaning in schools,
with 
other people that are not aware of their condition. Because as we all know
some kids can be harsh of their playmates, when they see something different
from them making jokes about them and bullying them and it really affects
children with ADD growing up struggling on how to fit in and make people
inform and understand their condition.
Because most research on ADD (ADHD) has been conducted on elementary
school aged children, we have not paid adequate attention to executive
function problems associated with ADD (ADHD). The possibility of ADD
(ADHD) should not be rejected because your child is currently doing well
academically. Even when academic performance is high, the hidden cost
of ADD (ADHD) may be taking a toll. Gifted students with ADD 
(ADHD) often struggle with anxiety, even when grades are high. They
may also suffer when required to do unnecessary, repetitive work that less 
gifted students may need, but which only serves as a frustration for a gifted student.
It is always much better to learn these symptoms to further understand people
with ADD. Learning how they live, how they cope up and fit in to other people,
feeling their struggles they had to go to and also their inspiring triumphs in life.
Just like what ive watched on Opra a gifted child excelling in school and living
life to the fullest. Giving inspiration to young people her age. And upon knowing the
facts it will help us to reach out to them and make them feel special and
welcome.Because most of them are actually gifted and warm people like
you and me, i hope this blog entry helps and is somewhat an eye opener for us.
