YOGYAKARTA - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is included in one type of mental disorder that can affect the learning process and how to socialize children. Some children with ADHD also experience diselection. So what is ADHD and dyslexia?

APPARENT Explanation of What is ADHD and Dislection

Quoted by VOI from Halodoc, Thursday, October 20, 2022, ADHD is one of the disorders of nervous development that often occurs in childhood. This condition can make it difficult for children to focus on their attention, as well as have impulsive and hyperactive behavior.

Meanwhile, dyslexia is a disruption in the development of reading, writing, or spelling. Dyslexia generally occurs in children aged 7 to 8 years.

ADHD and dyslectics often occur at the same time. According to Dr. Russel Baskley in his book entitled Taking Charge of ADHD: The Complete Authoritative Guide for Parents, children with ADHD are more likely to have the inability to learn than children without these disorders.

ADHD is classified as a chronic mental disorder that makes it difficult for sufferers to focus on tasks that require them to regulate or follow instructions.

Not only that, but ADHD sufferers are also very active physically up to a stage that may be deemed inappropriate in several places.

For example, children with ADHD may answer questions by shouting, shaking their bodies and disturbing others in class. However, not all ADHD sufferers always disturb their friends when in class.

Meanwhile, dyslectic disorders can make it difficult for people to learn to read, spell, and recognize words. Thus, people with dyslexia will have less understanding of reading, vocabulary, and general knowledge than children of other age who do not have dyslexia.

In the book A New Understanding of ADHD in Children and Adults written by Dr. Thomas E Brown, the disruption of the executive function associated with ADHD is also related to diselection.

Meanwhile, according to the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 50 percent of the children diagnosed by ADHD also suffer from dyslexia. Even so, keep in mind that ADHD does not cause dyslexia, and vice versa.
