Introduction
Approximately 11 percent of all children in the United States are diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can interfere with a childs academic and personal life.
The statistics for children who suffer from ADHD are profound. The symptoms first appear between the ages of three and six, while the average age of children who are diagnosed is seven. Approximately 6 percent of children in the United States are treated for ADHD with stimulant or nonstimulant medication.
Most staggering of all is the fact that there has been a 42 percent increase in the number of children diagnosed with ADHD in the past eight years.
This book is designed to help you through the challenges that ADHD creates. An introduction to ADHD can help you understand the disability and symptoms. You will learn about getting a diagnosis and what that entails.
Perhaps most importantly, you will learn about different treatments available and what you can do to help your child become a successful adult while keeping yourself healthy.
It is important to note that although boys and men are three times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, girls and women do still often suffer from the disability too. If your child is diagnosed with ADHD, please remember that you are not alone in your journey!
Chapter One: What Is ADHD, What Are the Symptoms, and When Should I Get My Child Evaluated?
Y ou are losing your mind when your sons first grade teacher, Mrs. Paris, calls for the second time in a week. It seems that your son, little Charlie, is having a few issues in class. Today, she reports that when he came in from recess, he refused to sit down and work on his math assignment. Instead, he picked up his chair, acted like he was attached to it, and raced around the room. She suggests that perhaps it might be time to have Charlie evaluated for ADHD.
At first, you are resistant. Everyone has heard the squirrel jokes associated with ADHD. You know, the one that goes, I was talking to my friend, oh look a squirrel. And Charlie can focus on activities when he wants to. After all, he can play his games for hours without moving. However, ADHD is more complicated than that. There are many symptoms associated with ADHD, and the correct diagnosis and treatment can mean a life changing difference for you and your child.
What Is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is more than a simple inability to sit still or stay focused on a task for very long. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social, academic, and other functions. Like other neurodevelopmental disorders, ADHD manifests itself early in your childs development, usually before they start school. It is not diagnosed until specific symptoms are exhibited. Most kids are diagnosed when they are around seven years old. Sometimes, a child may be diagnosed when they are older, but it is very likely that they had some of the symptoms when they were younger.
How do you know if your precious baby has ADHD or is just acting like a normal kid their age? There are specific signs that may point to the answer.
Each person may show different signs of ADHD. Just like so many other mental and physical health issues, ADHD is not a one-size-fits-all disorder, making it difficult to diagnose ADHD.
Signs and Symptoms
One sign of ADHD is if your child shows self-focused behavior. they are unable to perceive other peoples needs and desires. They might interrupt conversations or activities and may be unable to wait their turn, either in games or classroom activities. Likewise, they could also frequently interrupt people when they are talking or inserting themselves into conversations, games, etc., that they are not a part of.
