What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of ADHD?

Posted on Tue, 25 Apr 2017

Question: I used to have a strange habit of flapping my hands and daydreaming as a kid, as well as, bad coordination. What could have caused this? Could it have been sensory related from ear infections, as I did have periodic deafness when I was very young?

Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Ear infections would not lead to hand flapping, daydreaming, or coordination difficulties. These are very likely unrelated. This was probably a developmental idiosyncrasy that has since resolved. I wouldn't be worried.
