• ADHD is a disorder of childhood characterized by impulsivity, excessive motor activity, and an inability to focus attention for appropriate amounts of time.

• Scientists who study ADHD agree that it is a neurological disorder.  Current research indicates the frontal lobe plays a significant role in ADHD because it is involved in the regulation of behavior, inhibition of impulses, sequential thinking, planning, and organization.

• Boys are more likely to be recognized and treated by doctors because their problems are more severe than girls.
