What is ADHD?

 ADHD or Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental

disorder. An aspect of ADHD is Attention-deficit, attention – deficit
according to the center of disease control (CDC) makes focusing and
one's ability to stay on task extremely difficult. Inability to complete
assigned task, daydreaming, and forgetting instructions are all examples
of symptoms student suffering from ADHD express in the classroom.
Another aspect of ADHD is hyperactivity. hyperactivity is simply a
person's uncontrollable urge to move about constantly. People suffering
from hyperactivity find  sitting still a daunting task, people suffering from
hyperactivity are also likely to experience restlessness and they  can also
have trouble keeping quiet.

how to treat ADHD

I want parents/adults to be given a chance to help their children

receive the care and treatments they need. According
to NeuroHealth the best therapeutic treatments for people with
ADHD are Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral
Therapy, ADHD Coaching, Music Therapy, etc. Another aspect of
treatments for ADHD is medication and stimulants are the best
medicines for ADHD are methylphenidate and amphetamine as
stated by the child MIND Institute. With these treatments, I believe
that anybody with ADHD will be able to lessen their urge to move
about and can refocus themselves.

my position and ADHD

I believe that there's really no difference between a person

with ADHD and a person with no ADHD. ADHD is just a brain that
works differently but untreated ADHD can be very detrimental to a
child's future and education. According to smartkidswithld 30% of
children with untreated ADHD fail to graduate high school compared
to 10% of children without.  I would like for adults and parents
around the world to go to the doctor and see if their child has ADHD.
So it could be treated at a younger age for the symptoms of ADHD
do not too strongly influence their lives in the Future.
