Question

An 8-year-old boy is brought to clinic by his parents because they are concerned that he has not been doing his homework. his teacher recently called the parents to say that their son seems distracted in class, constantly interrupts other children when they are speaking, and is very fidgety.

Answer 1

Some people would say that the kid has (ADD) but, no. The little boy should be diagnosed with ADHD. Attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) both affect people's ability to stay focused on things like schoolwork, social interactions, and everyday activities like brushing teeth and getting dressed. The biggest difference between ADD and ADHD is that kids with ADHD are hyperactive.
