其中读书障碍、语言障碍及多动症是患有注意力问题的孩子们最常见的症状。

另外家长要知道男孩和女孩的症状也有明显的区别

It seems like boys have learning and attention issues more often than girls do. Why is that?

在现实生活中，我们可能会觉得男孩比女孩更容易遇到学习和注意力问题。

In fact，more boys than girls are formally identified as having learning disabilities and ADHD. And not by just a little bit. Boys make up around two-thirds of kids identified as having what IDEA refers to as a “specific learning disability.” And boys are also more than twice as likely to be identified as having ADHD.

实际上, 被正式认定有学习障碍和多动症的男孩远远多于女孩，甚至有两倍多。

但是男孩和女孩的表现症状则有很大的不同。

男孩

女孩

一般情况下，患有注意力缺陷多动障碍的男孩，更容易冲动和与他人发生身体冲撞。

一般情况患有多动症的女孩们，更容易焦虑、抑郁、不断交谈、白日梦和自卑。

In other words, boys with ADHD are more noticeable than girls with ADHD. And that may explain why more than twice as many of them are identified with the disorder.

正因为患有多动症男孩比患有多动症的女孩症状更明显。所以我们会认为男孩比女孩更容易患有注意力问题。

很多家长表示很担心，自己的孩子患有注意力问题，是否就意味着孩子的学习和事业都会受到很大影响。特别是对孩子未来的生活是否有较大影响。

实际上患有学习与注意力问题的孩子可能会比普通孩子在某些方面更有优势。很多有名的企业家和发明家都存在注意力问题，但是通过正确的引导和治疗，他们依然在各自的领域取得了成功。
