Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is purely a biological disorder and not a result of child-rearing. Attention Deficit Disorder can present with or without Hyperactivity symptoms. These symptoms of ADD without Hyperactivity are subtle and may be difficult to identify.

Major Symptoms Of ADD Without Hyperactivity Are:

• Often loses things
• Difficulty concentrating
• Easily distracted by extraneous stimuli
• Unable to complete tasks
• Forgetful and unorganized
• Does not seem to listen when spoken to directly

Quite often, ADD children have above average intelligence even though they are labeled as poor students. The disorder is hereditary, and is three times more common in boys than girls.

Children and youth with Attention Deficit Disorder often have serious problems in school. Often they are hyperactive, impulsive, get poor grades and have disciplinary problems.
