3. ADHD is an Associated Symptom
The symptoms that are associated with Williams Syndrome aren’t just physical in nature, but they also happen to affect the brain – which can, in turn, affect the behavior, and it often causes some symptoms that are characteristic of Williams Syndrome when they occur together.
One of the most common symptoms that are usually associated with Williams Syndrome includes ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; people who have been diagnosed with ADHD are very often hyper and have trouble focusing or following the same train of thought for an extended period of time.
It’s also more than just a symptom of Williams Syndrome, but a condition on its own that should be treated as a stand-alone condition and will require a few small lifestyle changes combined with medication to be treated effectively.
Therapy can achieve a great deal when it comes to managing ADHD as a stand-alone condition and making the distraction of it easier to deal with.
