ADHD is\u00a0a common neurodevelopmental disorder\u00a0that affects children and adults. It is genetically based and can pass down from parent to child. While\u00a0ADHD will show up\u00a0differently in each person, these are the most common\u00a0symptoms:<\/p>\n
With the proper diagnosis, treatment and support, ADHD can be a strength. People with ADHD tend to be creative thinkers and can actually be \u201chyper focused\u201d on subjects that hold their interest. This can result in developing a high level of expertise in a particular subject and lead to successful careers for individuals with ADHD. Famous people with ADHD include Albert Einstein, Agatha Christie, Bill Gates and Whoopi Goldberg,\u00a0to name a\u00a0few.<\/p>\n
Talk with your doctor and your school if you see symptoms of ADHD and to coordinate a proper evaluation and diagnosis done by either psychologists, neuropsychologists, or developmental pediatricians.\u00a0\u00a0These professionals will then come up with a treatment plan that could include pharmacological interventions (medication), and\/or behavioral interventions, which provide children with strategies to manage their symptoms at home and school.\u00a0You also will need to work with your child\u2019s school to ensure that they get the accommodations and support services they need through a 504 Plan or Individualized Education Plan (IEP).<\/em><\/p>\n ADHD is\u00a0a common neurodevelopmental disorder\u00a0that affects children and adults.
