The behavior described centers on constant motor activity and speaking a lot. Hyperactivity refers to acting with high energy, being unable to stay seated, fidgeting, and talking excessively. In ADHD, symptoms cluster into inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity/impulsivity; the emphasis on motor activity and lots of talking matches hyperactivity most directly. Acting before thinking can be a sign of impulsivity, but the ingrained, motor-driven restlessness and verbose speaking point to hyperactivity rather than the other options. Anxiety isn’t part of the ADHD symptom pattern described here.
