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)

Yep. I’m pretty sure we got it from my late grandfather’s side based on the stories he told us about his childhood. My dad and uncles showed signs but it was practically confirmed when 3/4 of my generation (8 of us in total) ended up having trouble in school and being diagnosed with it. I’m the only female out of me and my cousins though.
