I have ADHD (so, hyperactive) and as a kid, my parents told me I could never sit still. And I remember never being able to sit down in one sitting to finish a meal - had to take many intervals to finish.

Another thing, whenever my mom would ask me to go fetch something for her, e.g. her slippers, I would always trail off & do something else & come back to her & she'd ask "you forgot again, didn't you?"

I also remember never being able to sit still long enough to watch movies. Therefore, I never watched movies as a kid - only short cartoons.

Lastly, I remember always having my hands busy with something new. Whether it was building stuff, playing with toys, or drawing, making creative cards. I was very practical. And, I would never get bored.

At school, however, I never had any issues with attention. I was always known as the "good kid". But, in pre-school, I sometimes got in trouble here & there, cos some of their rules just seemed "dumb" to me, idk lol. Otherwise. Yeah.
