From the Paper:

"Hyperactivity
Andrew always seems to be restless. He is always in motion and never stays in one place for a period of time. He always roams around his room in school and transfers from one seat to another. He tries to do one activity after another. Sometimes, he is incessantly talkative and does disturbing things such as tapping his pencil noisily or fidgeting around his classroom. At home, Andrew's hyperactivity is shown during his playtime. He shifts from one game to another, leaving a muddle of toys behind."
