A child who blurts out his or her answers in class without raising their hand, or a children who seems to daydream when the teacher gives instructions could be seen as a child with the disorder.

When given the freedom to play at recess, students with the disorder tend to climb where they are not suppose to and abuse the privileges they are given.**** not
