Based on your description, it is likely that you should see a pediatrician. If this condition is diagnosed, prompt treatment is necessary. Most cases begin in early childhood and become more apparent after starting primary school. During class, the child exhibits constant fidgeting, tearing books, scribbling on them until they are unrecognizable, touching everything they can reach, and enjoys provoking others.

This will help the child as soon as possible to completely overcome the pain caused by the disease.
