There is no single method that should be used to diagnose ADHD. Evaluation takes place at least 6 months after symptoms first appear. In addition, symptoms must occur in more than one setting.
Some symptoms include:
- In constant motion.
- Squirms and fidgets.
- Makes careless mistakes.
- Often loses things.
- Does not seem to listen.
- Easily distracted.
- Does not finish tasks.
