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)

Grandpa, great aunt, dad, uncle, me, son. All but 2 undiagnosed.

I’ve also read that PTSD can manifest as symptoms of ADHD and I definitely knew at least two kids who were very hyper but had also dealt with serious trauma in their lives.
