Not only is it stupid that he is saying something that is well studied, but also, the evidence he gives for ot doesn't actually indicate a likely genetic connection.

From the evidence he gives of parental disorganisation, it could equally be likely that the children develop ADHD due to how their very disorganised parents raised them (i.e. environmental).

Both ignorant and incompetent!

Certainly some of the responses were akin to “See? ADHD is what happens when you don’t give your kids structure,” and, “AND the parents have the same environment as their kids! Shit food, shit environment, these are the results!”

I guess those are the responses you get when you cultivate an audience that believes in supplements, the magical healing power of fresh food, and breathing according to a schedule.
