ADHD that can kind of be a lot to
process especially if you've known other
kids with ADHD and feel like their
challenges are way different than what's

show up in so many ways
ADHD stands for attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder and what it means
is that you're struggling with certain
areas of focusing keeping yourself on
track switching from one task to the
next one needed and completing things

hyperactivity piece but not all and that
means that you tend to have more energy
or be a bit more Restless than other
