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)

Depending on the situation, your trauma may be like mine... caused by an undiagnosed parent.

100% 2 adhd parents' led to adhd kids. The parent(s) causing trauma coz of their adhd... undiagnosed or diagnosed, the point is more untreated/unabated behaviour and parenting techniques.

I firmly believe in the dianthus stress model theory, so u think genetics are the blue print, environment is the trigger.
