Document Summary
Childhood disorder term is misleading because often extends into adulthood. Development is a sequential process therefore the disruption of development of early skills will disrupt development of later skills. Some people in the field may see aspects of normal development as abnormal. Ex. echolalia- repeating the speech of others once thought to be a sign of autism, now known that this is a step in language development. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder- features maladaptive levels of inattention, excessive activity, and impulsiveness; one of the most common reasons children are treated: clinical description. The first or both second and third symptoms must be present for someone to be diagnosed with adhd. Study showed that girls with adhd were likely to be rejected to their peers, even more so for the adhd girls with the hyperactivity and impulsivity type: statistics. Occurs in 3-7% of children in the us and 5. 2% of children around the world.
