Davi

Scenario

Davi is an 8-year-old boy. He is very intelligent and playful. At the age of 6, he was diagnosed with ADHD (hyperactive type). When he was younger, Davi had impulse control and temper issues, and got into fights a lot, but he has worked hard on that and now rarely fights. He loves puzzles and challenges, and is very creative and artistic, but when he gets an answer wrong or can't solve a puzzle, he tends to be extremely hard on himself, often calling himself stupid or insulting himself under his breath.

Davi says that he's bad at math and science, although every time you try a new activity with him, he picks it up very quickly and is clearly very smart. He shows good ability to focus on most activities, though he gets frustrated with himself more easily when reading. Davi is fond of old Ray Bradbury short stories, and likes having them read to him.
