Attention deficit disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder usually diagnosed during childhood, and its symptoms often follow them into adulthood. ADHD can make many areas of a child's life difficult. This condition isn't curable, but it can be treated using a number of treatments including a variety of medications. Here are some of the symptoms that could indicate an ADHD diagnosis: 

Children can have temper tantrums and anger issues

One of the symptoms that are commonly seen in younger children with ADHD is temper tantrums. These temper tantrums can be brought on easily, and they can become quite severe. They can include screaming, crying, hitting others, hitting themselves, throwing objects, biting, pulling their own hair, pulling someone else's hair, throwing themselves on the ground, and more. The tantrums can go on for a while, and the child can be hard to soothe. 

When a child with ADHD gets older, their temper tantrums can be replaced by anger issues that can also be brought on for the smallest of reasons. The child can express their anger in any number of ways that can include breaking things and hitting people. Similar to the temper tantrums of smaller children, the bouts of anger in older children can also be hard to bring them out of. 

Children can have a hard time playing well with others

A child who has ADHD can have a difficult time playing well with other children for a number of reasons. For one thing, a child with ADHD can find it to be a real struggle to wait their turn. This can cause a lot of arguments and problems when they try to play a game where taking turns is a requirement, which it normally is in most games. They can also find it hard to stay focused on the task at hand, and this can frustrate others involved in the game who want to play it the way it is supposed to be played. 

Children with ADHD will often have a problem with interrupting others

A child with ADHD will likely have a problem interrupting other people when they are talking or when they are in the middle of doing something. The child will want to be heard right away when they have something to say. They will be more likely to say something louder and louder while people are talking until they stop talking and focus on the child. They will also often interrupt someone who is in the middle of doing something for themselves or for someone else and demand that the person gives them their full attention immediately. 

Children with ADHD are often fidgety

A child who has ADHD is usually fidgety. This means that they will always seem to be wiggling or moving at least some part of their body. Even when they are sitting in a chair, they will usually have their feet moving or even have their fingers wiggling. 

They have a hard time focusing their attention and finishing tasks

A child who has ADHD will also have a hard time focusing their full attention on something for any real period of time. They will also have a problem when it comes to finishing something, whether it be a book, a puzzle, or a school assignment. 

Conclusion

In the best-case scenario, a child with ADHD will receive a diagnosis early on. This is good because the sooner they can start being treated for ADHD, the less severe their symptoms will be. This can help them socially, as well as academically.
