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)

My mom is always complaining about how messy the house is. The car. Her purse

Complaining of how she is always losing her stuff

Complaining of forgetting chores

She gets easily distracted

Burns meals cuz she kept looking at the tv

Always gets late everywhere

Can't have a organized sleep schedule

And she loses track of things I'm telling her

I think it's genetic

(She doesn't wanna go to a psychiatrist despite how much I recomend. Any ideas. Pleaaase)
