Get To Know About Adhd Advocate

By Jessica Hayes


Usually, ADHD is a complicated mental condition that affects success and performance and relationship of kids in school. The symptoms of this condition often vary and can be hard to recognize in some situations. However, when you are an ADHD advocate you are able to reshape the way other people see, treat and accommodate those with this disorder.

Different classes of people can be advocates for this condition ranging from teachers, friends, families, and leaders. Making strategized approaches and visits to federal and state policymakers is one way in which this advocacy goals and movements can be achieved. Once you become an advocate for these patients will help in eliminating all negative views and valuations done against the victims. It is also another method of giving the child understanding another perspective.

This is a condition that is mainly associated with young people such as children and teens but in some cases, it affects even adults. In fact, it is one of the most popular and common mental disorder that affects children. The affected children become hyperactive a condition that affects their ability to pay attention as they cannot control impulses within them. These types of behaviors affect both school and home lives. In addition, the boy child is prone to this disorder more than the girl child. This has been proved as boys with concentration disorder are more than girls.

For the adults with this disorder, they often have trouble in time management, setting goals, being organized, as well as holding to a job. Again, they could have problems with addiction, self-esteem, as well as relationships. In children, however, the symptoms are classified into three, the inattention, hyperactivity, and an impulsivity.

To begin with, the inattention symptoms are numerous. They include the kid being distracted easily, unable to complete and finish their tasks, follow directions, and they seem not to be listening. At the same time, a child often makes careless mistakes and have difficulty paying attention. The other inattention symptoms include losing things often, forgetting daily tasks, as well as daydreaming. The hyperactivity symptoms include difficulty playing quietly and remaining seated. Again, a kid talks excessively and is always on the move. The impulsivity symptoms include the likes of trouble for a child to wait for his turn as well as interrupting others.

When a child becomes restless and never settling is another aspect associated with this characteristic. Also when the child talks in an excessive manner. When suffering from impulsivity symptoms, the child becomes aggressive, interruptive and troublesome to others.

Advocating for the ADHD patients, however, promotes positive behavior interpretation by other people. Because of this, the perception other people have of such people is changed. As a result, their reaction towards them become positive.

They also suffer from conditions like depression, becoming unorganized, having mood swings as well as chronic boredom. Becoming an advocate for these victims involves creating awareness and change in perception of certain activities done by these individuals as well as the whole negative environment surrounding the patients.
