It is a problem with the brains management system.

ADHD is not necessarily going to make you misbehave, research has found that many people with ADHD didn't have behavior problems growing up, the problem arose because they were having a hard time focusing. ]]> 2021-05-21 15:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/23gilchristk/dhzud2qxg9xf1egl/wish/1548009946 23gilchristk https://padlet.com/23gilchristk/dhzud2qxg9xf1egl/wish/1548055335 1 in 20 children have ADHD

In a typically developing child when a lot of information is thrown at them they can sort it so that they only focus on what is asked of them in that current moment. However, in a student with ADHD's mind, when thye are thrown a lot of information only some of it will store in their working memory whereas the other will bounce off. It will be like they didn't even hear what it was you said. Also, With ADHD when lots of things are thrown at you often you will pull out unnecessary information from your long term memory by accident and that currently useless information takes up space in you working memory so you won't process everything that someone is saying. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/23gilchristk/dhzud2qxg9xf1egl/wish/1557353899 23gilchristk https://padlet.com/23gilchristk/dhzud2qxg9xf1egl/wish/1557381940 - ADHD makes it difficult for young barins to focus.

I learned that there are many different ways that ADHD can show in a person. I always thought that you either had ADHD one way or you didn't have it at all.
