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.

Usually, advocates of this condition include teachers, leaders, families, and friends. One means of accomplishing the goals of these advocacy movements is through strategic outreach to state and federal policymakers. Being an advocate for the affected people helps to eliminate the negative evaluations about the victims. At the same time, you are able to give an alternative way to understand a child.

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.

In adults, however, they usually get trouble in managing time, setting goals, holding on a job, as well as being organized. At the same time, adults usually have problems with addictions, relationships, and self-esteem. However, the symptoms in children are often classified into three groups that include hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.

The inattention symptoms are such as the child being easily distracted, being unable to finish tasks or follow directions and the child does not seem to listen. Also, the child makes careless mistakes and does not pay attention. Other inattention symptoms are such as forgetting daily tasks, losing things often, and daydreaming. On the other hand, the hyperactivity symptoms are such as trouble playing quietly and the child cannot remain seated. Also, the child tend talk excessively and always on the move. Impulsivity symptoms are such as trouble waiting for his turn and 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.

Also, advocates of this disorder have the potential to change the environment experienced by the children such as in school. As a result, the bad feelings in such children are reduced, which as well as minimizes the bad behaviors they could be having.
