ADHD
ADHD is a common condition in which children or adults have difficulty focusing and paying attention. It may begin in early childhood and can continue into adulthood. Without treatment, ADHD can cause problems at home, school, work, and with relationships. The exact cause is not clear, but ADHD tends to run in families.
Three types of ADHD symptoms are:
- Trouble paying attention.
- Trouble sitting still for even a short time.
- Acting before thinking.
Autism
Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), a group of illnesses that involve delays in the development of many basic skills, most notably the ability to socialize or form relationships with others as well as the ability to communicate and to use imagination (including fantasy play). Children with these disorders often are confused in their thinking and generally have problems understanding the world around them. They have a limited range of interests. In many cases, children are unable to emotionally bond with their parents or other family members.
Childhood Behavioral Disorders
Young people with behavior disorders usually have little concern for others and repeatedly violate the basic rights of others and rules of society. Behavior disorders causes children and adolescents to act out their feelings or impulses in destructive ways. The offenses these children and adolescents commit often grow more serious over time. Such offenses may include lying, theft, aggression, truancy, the setting of fires, and vandalism.
