General Question/Discussion Do some of y’all have genetic ADHD?

Literally my mom, my sister, my niece, my nephew, and I all have ADHD as well as me and my mom having autism.

Edit: I’m more so talking about ADHD being a dominant trait (at least for my family)

4 out of the 7 grandchildren on my Dad’s side have ADHD. So far, 4 of their kids do. I’d say it came from my grandfather-we’re most like him-but he was a of a generation that was never diagnosed. No one on my Mom’s side. So I’d say genetic.
