My one year old moves constantly and injures herself unless we hover non-stop. I hear I was the same as an infant/toddler, and I'm sure I could get an ADHD diagnosis now as an adult. I would never consider medicating her even if this kept up for years, though — despite my hyperactivity I'm happy and operate just fine in society. When I got bored in chemistry and math classes as a kid and had trouble paying attention, they put me in advanced classes (or even let me do experiments in the back of the classroom during lecture), where I continued to learn effectively.
Sometimes when a human being and society are misaligned, the society should adapt rather than the human being.
