concerned about impulsive aggression. Her mother reports that at home she runs
around all day, needs multiple requests to pick up his toys, and can only sit still for a few
seconds before "growing bored". A teacher's note states that he cuts in line, distracts
his classmates, and loses his homework assignments but appears bright and is able to
finish his work when he is given individual supervision. His mother is concerned
because other children are teasing him for being stupid. However, she reports that he is
a sweet and motivated boy who does not talk back to teachers or adults and does not
bully anybody. In the office, she is jumping up and down in the chair despite multiple
requests by his mother to sit still. She notes that his 15-year-old brother was also
