Thank you for this video. I am a teacher and have some very promising students that have hyperactivity issues. They are so SMART and I've really wanted to understand what they are going through and what it feels like to have ADHD. If educators understand what's going on in these brilliant young minds, we can approach create a new way of approaching their education. Thanks again!

@sargeant45 I hope your okay now, I have ADHD too.

kids are hyper, it's natural. Let this kid get older before you start ramming adhd meds down his throat. Tell the teacher that kids are supposed to act that way, if she still thinks he is problematic, might need a little therapy or coaching, but certainly not drugs. Age 16-18 is the minimum age in my mind to let them have speed :P

why are all the comments so long

the individual, rather then making the person hyper and energized, it drains the individual and causes the person to become calm and more able to focus, which is the same thing in which riddilon or dexedrin does to a child or adult with ADHD it is because the chemicals in the coffee in which to us would be an upper and would create the chemical responces in our bodies and brain needed to wake up

violent or otherwise inappropriate behaviours such as hitting biting screaming swearing, easily irratated and aggrivated, as well as high matabolisms and inability to adapt to change, constant need for reassurance because they themselfs are not sure as to why the things in their lifes are happening. Clumsiness such as continuesly hurting themselfs by falling tripping or doing sometihng on impulse that is dangerous. Also with an ADHD child u will notice that COFFEE has the opposite affect on

the disorder takes over and the individual will no longer have any control over their symptons. My 2 year old son has all the signs of ADHD if I go based off the actions of my younger brother who was diagnosed at the age of 2 with ADHD and ODD. Some of these signs include inability to sit or stand still (in other words a portion of the childs body has to be continuesly moving even while trying to sleep) inability to pay attention or listen. Lack of respect towards female authorities,

on both physical and mental activities and long tasks it helps even out the chemical imbalance temporarily. Individuals with ADHD will most likely never lead a normal life style without a form of medication. A child who suffers from ADHD is less likely to keep important relationships with other individuals, they are more likely to lash out unexpectantly and potentially hurt those around them or themselfs. As the child gets older without treatment the signs and symptons get worse eventually

@colbour ADD and ADHD are both the cause of chemical inbalances in the frontal area's of the brain that causes a child to act and think irrational there for when the child was asked what his brain and body feel like to him and he states "a very hyper fire" that is basically exactly what it is because due to the chemical imbalance he lacks the ability to control certain thoughts or actions that most individuals would be able to otherwise control. The pills help his brain to maintain focus

@colbour as someone with add i can tell you without drugging him he will probably never complete a test in his life and therefore be screwed by society
