What Does ADHD Have to Do with the Movie “Avatar”?
TEXT: I saw “Avatar” yesterday,
and there’s something that now I must say:
kids with ADHD sat still,
with or without a pill;
too bad ALL life can’t grab them that way.
Just because children can sit still when something really grabs them doesn’t mean that they don’t have ADHD. Children with ADHD have great difficulty doing redundant tasks with they find to be boring, like school work. Now, when I first heard this, my question was, “Doesn’t everyone have that problem?” The answer I received was, “Others also get bored but can still manage to force themselves to do the work. People with ADHD really just can’t do the work. That’s the difference.” So, if you suspect that your child has ADHD, get a good evaluation and come visit us at adhd1.net .
The ADHD Song: There’s three main symptoms in ADHD:
The first one is getting bored easily.
Hyperactivity is number two,
So loaded with energy that you don’t know what to do!
When you act without thinking, that’s impulsivity,
Which is the very final part of ADHD.
