Is it sensory processing disorder or ADHD?

Patient's question:

15-year-old boy, 9 months old, has just entered second grade. Since the middle class of kindergarten, he has been unable to get along harmoniously with his peers and often feels guilty, even resorting to physical violence. He also dislikes getting into conflicts with others and offending people. He cannot maintain steady eye contact while speaking and has poor coordination, often standing or sitting unsteadily. He lives in his own world. Although the parents and teachers have explained the to him, his behavior does not change. The parents and teachers are very worried. Is it sensory processing disorder or ADHD?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described about the child, at this age, the child is in a phase of being psychologically combative or relatively mischievous, and requires patient and detailed guidance from parents. It is recommended to guide the child to practice daily hygiene more often, and to spend more time giving the child care and encouragement during free time. It may be helpful to accompany the child to participate in many collective activities that are meaningful or things the child usually dislikes. Gradually, as the child grows older, it is likely that changes can occur.
