Ok, So every since I was little I've been real fidgity and I can never sit still for more than 1 min. When I'm at home doing hwrk I have to get up and walk around the house every time I write something. I don't know why. During class I can only pay attention for 20 min. w/out fasing out. I don' t know why I do it but it takes me 3 hrs to finish a 20 min assignment. I find it also very difficult to concentrate. Plz help me. How do I stop and prevent this and what is it?

Sounds like you have Attention Deficit Disorder. I am in my 30's and I have it as well. It has affected me in any negative ways other than I have to really focus to complete projects. I think you will be alright now that you know what the problem is. Don't let anyone try to put you on any meds. It's just not that serious. You just have to take control and be a responsible person. It's okay to get bored and restless at times.

It seems like you are describing ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)
There are two types ADD and ADHD (with hyperactivity) It can affect people of all ages. Talk with your doctor about behavior modification therapy and or medication treatments. There is a wonderful support group C.H.A.D.D. that can provide lots of helpful information. Also, if this is for a child, in school. Ask that your child be tested and make sure you get an I.E.P. An I.E.P. will protect your child from being put in special education classes and the teachers must accomodate to your child's learning needs.

I'm no doctor, but this sure sounds like Attention Deficit Disorder.

I was diagnosed with adult attention deficit disorder. I'm not really sure what that means, but HEY LOOK!!! A CHICKEN!

It seems to me like you may have ADHD. Ask your teacher/parents what they think about that possibility.
