🚨 “He’s Just Energetic!” they said. Until He Started Hitting Himself.
When Swathi's son turned 3, he was everywhere — literally.
He ran through the house, couldn’t sit still for more than 30 seconds, screamed when asked to stop a game, and threw his plate at dinner if it wasn’t his usual bowl.
“People said he’s just active. Boys are like that. But I kept thinking... this isn’t just play. He looked overwhelmed.”
And then one day — he banged his head against the floor because his cartoon ended.
That’s when swathi knew.
She didn’t need more advice. She needed answers.
🔁 What Looks Like Hyperactivity Could Be a Deeper Struggle
Behavioral therapists at Pinnacle® miryalaguda explain that not all hyperactivity is ADHD — and not all ADHD is just attention trouble.
Sometimes, children who:
- Jump constantly
- Run without direction
- Avoid eye contact
- Scream when interrupted
- Ignore their name
- Have uncontrollable meltdowns
…are actually showing signs of:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Emotional Regulation Delay
- Sensory Processing Disorder
- Behavioral Anxiety linked to neurodevelopmental gaps
📊 AbilityScore©® Helped swathi Finally Understand Her Son
At Pinnacle® Miryalaguda, her child was screened using AbilityScore©®, a first-of-its-kind developmental scoring tool used by doctors, schools, and therapists nationwide.
The results:
- Behavioral Regulation: red Zone
- Communication: Yellow Zone
- Sensory Response: red Zone
- Motor Planning: Green Zone
“He wasn’t spoiled. Or wild. Or bad. He was just processing the world differently — and didn’t have the tools to say so.”
🧠 From Meltdowns to Milestones: Powered by TherapeuticAI©®
After the screening, TherapeuticAI©®, Pinnacle’s AI-powered therapy planner, mapped a 4-week starter program:
- Behavioral therapy with structured play
- Emotional vocabulary training
- Deep-pressure sensory activities
- Parental regulation modeling
swathi said she noticed change by session 3.
By session 7?
“He still jumped. But he also hugged. Said ‘no’ without screaming.
He didn’t change — he calmed. We understood each other again.”
💬 So… Is It Just Hyperactivity?
The truth? Maybe.
But maybe not.
And wouldn’t you rather know, than wonder?
Because when children struggle with behavior, it’s not always a choice.
Sometimes it’s a cry for support in the only language they know: movement.
