What are the symptoms of ADD, ADHD, and Asperger's? ?


What are the symptoms of ADD, ADHD, and Asperger's? ?

IM ADD. MEANING YOU DONT PAY ATTENTION FOR A LONG TIME. SUCH AS: IF IM READING A BOOK I DAYDREAM OR GET DISTRACTED EASILY. I CANT WATCH A MOVIE FOR A LONG TIME OR ILL GET BORED. IF IM TALKING TO SOMEONE I WILL GET OFF THE SUBJET REALLY QUICKLY AND THINGS RUSH THROUGH MY MIND.


HOPE I HELPED

I'm not going to go onto any health site to tell you the answer, because I live with it myself, and maybe this would give a broader range for information.

I have a twin sister who has Asperger syndrome. It's fairly mild, but here are some things she does in terms of symptoms:

-rocks back and forth. She does this when she is listening to music, when she is scared, or when she is bored. Most often she does it when she is excited and happy.
-she holds her hands near her chest, and stands on her toes, like a kangaroo. My little cousin, who also has Asperger Syndrome, does this as well.
-she has poor social skills. She is 14 physically, but mentally, at least in social terms, she is about 10. She has a hard time reaching out to people, and being empathetic. She has trouble imagining herself in someone else's place.
-in terms of knowledge, she is VERY smart. Her IQ is well over 100. But she just has trouble learning. She learns slowly, but she is spectacular at the information she HAS learned.

My brother, who is two years younger than me, has ADD. Some of his symptoms are:

-he fidgets. Constantly, moving his body, playing with his hands, poking people, etc. He always has to be doing something.
-he cannot focus on anything, unless he REALLY wants to. You could put him in an empty room, with nothing in there but a desk and some homework. Instead of sitting and doing his homework, he would do something else. Such as: counting the tiles on the ceiling. Or flicking his pencil across the room.

Hopefully this helped. For a full list of symptoms of ADD/ADHD, here is the site:
