[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 78843, member: 3647"] Well, there are 2 different disorders. ADD is attention deficit disorder. There is nothing in there about being hyper. ADHD is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. it is ADD plus the extra added bonus of being hyper. A child with ADD could have trouble focusing, may tend to daydream. Seems like he/she is not paying attention. I heard t explained once that it felt like they were watching TV, but that they had 5 channels on all at the same time. Their brains have a difficult time organizing thought. Now, take a child who has that, add impulsiveness, inability to sit still, can't ever finish anything they have started, the constant need to make noise...well, then you have MY child. Those are some of the things that you could attribute to hyperactivity. A child does NOT have to be hyper to have ADD. [/QUOTE]
