Kids with ADHD cannot control impulses and respond to stimuli differently than kids without it. So if you are in a classroom you hear the teacher, but the ADHD kid may hear the teacher, the lawn mower, the fish tank, another kid tapping his pencil, etc. He is not able to filter things out like you can. He also cannot control behaviors that you and I know are socially inappropriate. Getting constant negative feedback is hard on anyone's self esteem, and adds to him feeling different from other kids which he already realizes. Meds for these kids can make a world of difference, so consulting a child psychiatrist would be appropriate.
