ADHD, Autism, and Learning Disorders

What is ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)?

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects attention, focus, and impulse control. Children with ADHD may find it difficult to pay attention, stay on task, and follow instructions. Hyperactivity and impulsiveness are also key symptoms of ADHD.

Symptoms include:

• Inattention: Difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, making careless mistakes.
• Hyperactivity: Constant fidgeting, moving around, excessive talking.
• Impulsivity: Interrupting others, difficulty waiting for a turn.

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication, social interactions, and behavior. It is considered a “spectrum” because symptoms can range from mild to severe, and no two individuals with autism experience it in the same way.

Symptoms include:

• Difficulty with verbal and non-verbal communication.
• Struggles with social interactions, including forming relationships.
• Repetitive behaviors, like hand-flapping, insistence on routines, or intense focus on specific interests.
• Sensory sensitivities, such as being overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, or certain textures.

What Are Learning Disorders?

Learning disorders, also known as learning disabilities, affect a person’s ability to process information and acquire academic skills. These conditions can interfere with reading, writing, math, or other cognitive functions necessary for learning.

Common learning disorders include:

• Dyslexia: Difficulty reading, decoding words, and recognizing written language.
• Dyscalculia: Difficulty understanding numbers and performing mathematical operations.
• Dysgraphia: Difficulty with handwriting, spelling, and organizing thoughts on paper.
