ADHD Article Response

The article was very interesting. I learned a lot about ADHD that I never knew. It was interesting that there is no cure for ADHD and that the drugs for it only affect 3% to 5% of kids that use them. I also never knew that their working memory is weak, so they can't remember half of the directions that are given to them. Tis article on ADHD was very interesting and told me a lot of stuff I did not know.
The experiment that Rapport did was very interesting also. The way he put that device on their wrist to measure how much they move. I found it very interesting how when they did the test the kids fidgeted and when they watched the Star Wars clip they all stayed still. The experiment that Rapport did was very smart of him.
