Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is considered common with a diagnosis of Aarskog even though it is not often confirmed on a molecular level. This means DNA and RNA sequences associated with ADHD are not checked to make a definitive diagnosis. To ascertain the possibility of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, three main components must be present: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Inattention includes procrastination, the inability to finish work or chores, not being able to focus, being disorganized, and being distracted by things that others are not. Hyperactivity is the inability to sit still. Hyperactive kids are loud and do not engage in quiet hobbies or activities. They fidget, talk a lot, and are always on-the-go. They have a hard time being patient and often react before considering a situation. This disorder cannot be properly diagnosed in infants and very young children.
