ABC dEcode® and
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder1 Diagnostic Features:
The essential feature of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is
a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that
is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals
at a comparable level of development.
Since attention cannot be sustained, very often reading comprehension
is affected and often this inability to "understand" written
material because of missing essential facts has been mistakenly interpreted
to mean that the individual could be "Dyslexic" rather than
ADHD.
Another major feature of ADHD is impulsivity. Very often one will act
before they think, or be constantly interruptive. The inability to sit
still very often creates disruption. Not only do these behaviours interfere
with others, but they interfere with the ADHD sufferer's learning process.
In terms of language, one can have difficulty following a train of thought
and miss the subtle and inferential cues of a passage. Socially, an individual
could begin conversations at awkward moments, switch topics abruptly,
miss conversational terms, and not learn how to adapt the message to the
listener.
