The three types of ADHD include; hyperactive impulsive, inattentive, and combination. Both types of ADHD include being restless, unfocused, and trouble with social situations. The combination is a mixture of both types. ADHD affects about 5-10% of the school population in America. It is diagnosed more in males than females.

ADHD is highly treatable with proper medication and some people even choose to not take medicine with it. The malfunction of Dopamine, an important brain neurotransmitter, plays a role with ADHD. ADHD is caused by genetics meaning if one of your parents or relatives has it, you are likely to have it too. One in twenty children are diagnosed with ADHD. Rushing into things without thinking and not being able to finish a task are two symptoms of ADHD.]]> 2018-01-24 02:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224066886 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067233 ADHD is a neurological condition. Individuals who have ADHD have a different number of cognitive traits or working memory. The biggest misconception of ADHD is that individuals who have ADHD are not motivated or do not try hard enough. It is not a deficit of motivation, they are working harder than anyone else because it takes them more time and more effort to get their work done. ]]> 2018-01-24 02:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067233 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067447 Our brain has a huge number of brain cells. Nerve cells talk to each other to send messages to the front of the body. The frontal lobe is the command center. The messages from the front of the brian to the other parts of the brain go through complex networks of nerve cells. We need chemical transmitters to transfer messages from nerve brain cell to another. People who have ADHD have their messages send around the brain and body faster than those who have ADHD. ]]> 2018-01-24 02:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067447 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067576 ADHD is an innate attention deficit disorder. People with ADHD usually have a difficult time staying on task for a long period of time. They are unable to focus on a force of command but more likely to get things done when they are interested in the task. They tend to move continuously and are impulsive. People with ADHD tend to speak whatever is on their mind without thinking about it first. ADHD is mostly found in children and diagnosed at a young age, but follows with the person throughout their whole life. ]]> 2018-01-24 02:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067576 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067707 Signs that your child may have ADHD:
1) Note the childs capacity for attention span 
2) recognize if their energy level is more excessive than others
3) Consider how long the behavior has been going on
4) Note where the behavior is occurring
5) Gage the seriousness of the problem
6) If any of these symptoms are recognized, take your child to a doctor for a behavioral analysis]]> 2018-01-24 02:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067707 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067797 ADHD occurs very frequently in children and is not diagnosed until around the age of 7 and the child is in school. ADHD includes behaviors of inattention, distractibility, and oppositional behavior. These children usually have trouble with friendships, focusing in school, and unusual behavior at home. Although it is not a learning disorder, it can affect school and grades due to the fact of the inability to focus. ]]> 2018-01-24 02:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224067797 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224488376 2018-01-25 01:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224488376 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224488531 2018-01-25 01:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224488531 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224488605 2018-01-25 01:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/224488605 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/226860096 2018-02-01 00:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/226860096 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/226860218 2018-02-01 00:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/226860218 18nadelm https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/226860389 While watching the videos on ADHD I learned a lot of new things. Although I already know a lot about ADHD, because I have it, I learned even more. ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Disorder. This is a neurodevelopmental issue that affects about ⅔ of the population. ADHD symptoms include difficulty staying still, difficulty paying attention, and difficulty with thinking before acting. People with ADHD usually move around a lot and have a tough time focusing on the same task for a long period of time. If the person with ADHD is uninterested in the task, it is harder for them to get their work done. Trying to pay attention to things you are interested in while having ADHD causes your mind to want to wander. People that are diagnosed with ADHD usually have harder times with making friends. They can be awkward, talkative, or too energetic. Children are first diagnosed with ADHD around the age of seven, when entering school. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 13 which is later than most people. ADHD continues through adulthood and is not treatable. There are medications prescribed to help with the disorder. My family and I knew I had ADHD when I started becoming very talkative and kept getting unfocused in class. One of my teachers brought it up to my mother and that was when my mother finally looked further into testing. I got my testing back and the results were me being diagnosed. I now understand my struggles and do struggle to focus still, but I am better at catching myself before I completely lose focus in something.]]> 2018-02-01 00:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/18nadelm/adhdchilddevproj/wish/226860389
