Extroverted (can be introverted) young (any age) boy (any gender) who fidgets a lot (might not be hyperactive), struggles (may excel) in school, and can’t pay (has difficulty regulating) attention.

We are more than our perceived “shortcomings.”

More than what people find inconvenient about us.

More than what annoyed our grade school teachers.

So. Much. More.

Circular flowchart. “Too anxious to start on anything” leads into “stressed about not getting anything done,” then back to “too anxious to start on anything”—creating an endless loop.
