Is it possible to have ADHD like behavior and not ADHD?
Of course! Misdiagnoses are common, especially in mental disorders. This is partly because the symptoms do not necessarily lead to the disease, but also because many different disorders can have similar symptoms. In particular, symptoms of OCD and ADHD can look very much alike but they are actually opposite malfunctions of the same part of the brain. In OCD this part of the brain is overactive and in ADHD it is underactive. Unfortunately, this has often led to diagnoses of "comorbid" ADHD and OCD, but researchers are discovering that the brain processes are actually opposite, which means it would be impossible to have both at the same time.

Do you believe that a child has the same emotional and intellectual capacity as an adult?
A child has the same emotional capacity as an adult. It is towards which objects their emotions are directed that vary. A child can feel pain and cry, just like an adult. A child can love, be happy, and be sad. All these characteristics can be found in adults. When it applies to intellectual capacity then no children are not in the same playing field with adults. A child has not developed their mind to the point of adult thinking and rationality. So therefore, no a child is not intellectually equal to an adult.
