[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are married and we both have ADHD.

Don't do it:

1. Your children will be at increased risk not only for ADHD, but for SEVERE ADHD. It's not pretty even with meds.

2. Your house will be in chaos in the morning and evening because those are the times when meds aren't there to help you.

3. That chaos and parenting challenge will place a heavy strain on your relationship.

I'm living it right now.[/quote]
Four couples.

ADD/ADHD  1 child isn't, one is ADHD and the other too young to know.

Non/ADHD  1 child with ADD and two aren't

ADD/Non   2 children with ADD and one isn't

Non/Non  1 child with ADHD, one not and two that are too young to determine

Why did the two without ADD/ADHD as a factor have an ADHD child? Genetics.

And your assertion of severe ADHD...what?

[b]I don't understand the point of this. Are these people you know or some kind of hypothetical?[/b] [/quote]
Actual.[/quote]

So what's your point? Genetics is a game of chance. We can give probabilities but there's no way to know for sure what you'll get. Anecdotes =/= data. [/quote]
Yep they are. What I showed illustrates that the doomsday ''severe ADHD'', still haven't heard what that is, doesn't represent the facts. It isn't an absolute.

FWIW, I am ADHD.[/quote]

First, it's you have ADHD, not you are ADHD.

Second, take a probability and statistics course. No one said if two people with ADHD have a kid, they'll definitely have children with profound ADHD and there's absolutely no chance of having children without ADHD. It's genetically linked, so parents with ADHD are more likely to have children with ADHD, which is supported by the link you posted.  Your link also discusses severe ADHD, and how symptoms vary from person to person. Check out the website you linked. It might answer some of your questions. [/quote]
