ADHD is a struggle that is seen in children, adolescents and adults. This condition does not consist of just one or two specific symptoms, but rather a complex cluster of behaviors that often appear together. Some children with ADHD are very hyper and disruptive while others are very much the opposite very quiet but can’t stay focused on one thing at a time.

Although many of us might experience some mild characteristics of ADHD from time to time, those with the condition have more difficulties in day-to-day functioning.
~Dr. Judith Regan

Not all children with ADHD have the same symptoms or struggles.

ADHD is often diagnosed in children before age 12, but could persist into teen age years as well as adulthood, especially, if untreated. It can stem from genetic and environmental factors. Other conditions can coexist with ADHD. Doctors are able to diagnose ADHD after obtaining a thorough history, administering behavior-rating scales for parents and teachers, performing testing, carefully listening to the family’s descriptions of behaviors and directly observing the child.
