  • Express themselves through disobedience, animosity, or uncontrolled emotions (poor self-control) due to poor frustration levels that leads to the student to act out.
  • Struggle to adapt to their surroundings, catch onto social cues, and improper reasoning abilities. This can lead to misjudging situations, unreasonable actions and consequences.
  • Requires instant reward or praise for any achievement or good doing.
