Step-by-step explanation:

• ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder in which a person often acts inappropriately with regards to his age, has difficulty paying attention to things and often acts without taking into consideration the consequences of his/her actions.
• A person suffering from this syndrome exhibits symptoms that are often noticed in the school, home or during recreational activities such as playground games and mostly before 12 years of age.
