My child is usually quite active, but when it comes to watching TV, playing games, or drawing, they are completely focused. At other times, they are quite restless. In school, they often bother their classmates without thinking, and even when they get hit, they don't report it. From preschool to elementary school, they have never been able to remember their classmates' names. What are the characteristics of this?Doctor's answer:
