What Causes Abnormal Fidgety Behaviour In A Child?
My 14 year old grandson can t seem to sit still. In church he is always fidgety, when playing electronics he has to move to different positions, often doesn t act his age, has inappropriate movements, such as arms swinging, as a toddler he got a wagon and often just spun the wheels. Are these symptoms of a disorder?
