ADHD in general

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, abbreviated to ADHD, encompasses three main groups of symptoms: attention deficit, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Ignoring details, difficulty maintaining attention, problems with organizing and completing tasks, avoiding tasks that require sustained attention, forgetfulness, losing various objects are all among the symptoms.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a person’s ability to pay attention, control impulsive behaviors, and regulate activity levels. It is usually diagnosed in childhood, although it can continue into adulthood.

Symptoms of ADHD may include difficulty paying attention or following instructions, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. People with ADHD may have difficulty completing tasks, following rules, or controlling their behavior in social situations.

The exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to abnormalities in brain development and function.

Nevertheless, some signs can help you recognize this disorder, so if you come face to face with it, you will understand better why an autistic young person does what they do. You will also be able to behave appropriately in the situation.
First, most autistic children avoid the company of others, preferring to be alone because they usually have difficulty communicating with others because they find it difficult to understand the hints and metaphors that other people use daily. Facial expressions do not necessarily mean the same to them as they do to others. To adapt, they need to learn these key cues.
The other big difference lies in the perception of autistic people: many of them report contains much information from their senses, often overwhelmed and confused. In fact, we are also exposed to the same number of stimuli, but our brain classifies and filters them according to their importance. That’s why we don’t become aware of every stimulus – only as much as our brain can still process.
