Introduction
We have done a large-scale science related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, Chinese referred to as "ADHD"), and we have learned from it that there are three main categories of ADHD:
1. ADHD with attention deficit as the main manifestation;
2. ADHD with hyperactivity/impulsivity as the main manifestation;
3. Mixed ADHD that mixes the above two manifestations.
A parent after reading the previous paragraph of popular science, it is very confused, the son is 8 years old this year, the daily performance is very quiet, the results are not bad, only occasionally violent impulsive behavior, in the hospital diagnosed with mixed ADHD, is the child has a attention deficit? So why are the results still good?
This parent's question made us find that we still have to dedicate a special article to introduce the performance of these three types of ADHD in daily life.
#01
Daily manifestations of ADHD predominantly attention deficits
Attention-deficit children are also the most easily overlooked and failed to diagnose A baby in time, although the children in class are very well-behaved and quiet, but they are basically in a daze.
Most of the patients with attention-deficit ADHD are girls, and children with attention-deficit ADHD are often overlooked for their "quiet" temperament. It is estimated that as many as 50% to 75% of female ADHD cases are missed.
This leads to the fact that this type of child is often considered to be daydreaming, naturally not loving to learn, not fit in, etc., and this negative judgment has formed a low self-confidence, low self-esteem, and even a person with low self-esteem accumulated from childhood, and even a person who is inferior throughout his life.
In order to avoid children's lifelong illness and affect life, we must understand what manifestations of attention-deficit ADHD are in daily life.
01
Dazed and distracted
In his spare time, he is not noisy or noisy, and seems to be an "angel baby", but in fact, he loves to be in a daze. During times when concentration is required, such as class time, homework time, or even during exams, you can't help but wander. It is extremely easy to be distracted and distracted by other things.
02
Drag and grind
Eating and rubbing, cleaning up toys grinding, writing homework rubbing, going to school grinding, going home grinding... Obviously, it is something that can be completed quickly, but it will be delayed again and again under their hands.
03
Lose three or four
Packing up my school bag and not putting my homework book in, going out and losing the keys to my home, knowing that I had a painting class but forgot to bring a painting tool... You'll never be able to remember what your child's head forgot today!
04
Difficulty concentrating
You can't listen to lectures for a long time in class, you can't concentrate; you can't remember or remember the homework or other things or other things that the teacher orally assigned; you can't understand the content of the teacher's lectures.
05
Carelessness
When completing assignments or other activities, they are often careless, sloppy, and do not pay attention to details. Details are often overlooked or omitted.
#02
Daily manifestations of ADHD, which are dominated by hyperactivity
A father in the parents' mutual aid group mentioned that in fact, when he was a child, he was also called ADHD by the teacher because he was naughty and active and liked to do dangerous behaviors.
It is not difficult to see a "stereotype" from this sentence, but it is true that the dominant performance of hyperactive and impulsive Awa is easier to detect, evaluate and diagnose.
fidgeting
He often moves his hands and feet, or twists and turns around in his seat, and even leaves his seat and walks around the class without permission during class.
Regardless of the occasion
The heart understands the rules, but cannot control itself, often making moves or saying inappropriate things that are not suitable for the current situation.
noisy
They often talk to themselves, hum quietly, or sing loudly, and in everyday communication they speak loudly and cannot control their emotional volume.
talkative
Often talking a lot, even if no one talks to him, he can keep talking to himself.
No patience
Can't wait for others to finish speaking, love to interject, can't wait in line patiently, will cry or break the rules, and often show impatience for things that need to wait.
6
Highly destructive
There is no attitude of cherishing one's own and family items, and even destroys other people's toys, objects, etc., and there is a violent or tendency.
Children with mixed ADHD may experience all of these daily behaviors.
For different types of Awa, the intervention plan adopted will also be focused and different, in order to be targeted.
