How many of us remember ourselves as children who couldn"t be "straightened out"? The teachers were totally fed up with us. They just gave up on us. We were little children who knew in advance that there was no systematic method to get all the knowledge to penetrate into our brains. Everything always turned out topsy-turvey for us but not for the others.We dreamt our way through the lessons gazing out the window, but were still considered intelligent .It was difficult for us to concentrate and to finish tasks.We disturbed the class out of sheer boredom being unable to sit still on a chair.
ADHD is a frequent and often discussed phenomenon in our age. Many children are now diagnosed as ADHD sufferers and in the last few years the educational system has made great progress in increasing aid for these pupils.Yet there are still so many of them with a feeling of being unsuccessful or even compete failures which accompanies them for all of their lives.ADHD causes these children and the adults they mature into to have low self-esteem and to suffer from an acute lack of self confidance.
In practise,people with ADHD often have greater abilities than other people. In many cases , they are more energetic, more creative and more daring, charismatic, artistic and have a well-developed sense of humour. Having ADHD forced them make more effort so they are fitter in coping with the challenges of life.
