Kody emphasizes that hyperactivity can manifest internally and not through physical movement, and that diagnostic frameworks need to be more flexible to accommodate individual circumstances. The story calls for a more inclusive approach to ADHD diagnosis that recognizes diverse presentations of the condition.
