They squirm, fidget, wiggle, or make repetitive noises with their fingers or a thing they are holding in their hands. They are always restless and may try to do many things altogether at once. They feel restless, and often fidget with their hands or feet, or squirm while seated. They run, climb, or come up with answers without even hearing the whole question, they don't like waiting in line or for their turn at things.
