Rock on with ADHD

         What! Isn’t ADHD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder? Yes! But, how can it “rock”? Well, I read this cool article from “TIME”, about how kids with ADHD may learn better by fidgeting. Study shows that kids with ADHD help make their learning easier by moving. Many parents and teachers try to get kids with ADHD to stop fidgeting. But ADHD researcher “Mark Rapport”, says, “Let them move.”

     Studies show that kids with ADHD have a weak memory. Example, telling a kid with ADHD something: “Go to the car, get my keys, bring your sisters toys, and go take out the trash.” The kid would go to the car, and forget what else he was told to do. Sadly, Mark Rapport says there isn’t a cure for ADHD. It’s sad and good. Sad, because there’s no cure and it exists. Good, because we understand more about people with ADHD. And, people with ADHD can cope with their disorder. They won’t worry as much about it being a problem, when fidgeting helps facilitate their learning. This article was really cool, because when people hear ADHD, they think: fidgety, can’t learn, dummy. But now, people can see that there disorder has some good sides to it.
