that's what you get medicalising, what in essential is simply a different behaviour that isn't wrong, just different and could be simply an unchallenged and thus bored child#
diagnosis of it: http://web4health.info/en/answers/adhd-diagn-dsm.htm
from that list, there is nothing wrong with behaviour like that, the needs are jsut lsightly different to a normal child, and factory style school classes aren't exactly the most inspiring to begin with
