[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like ADHD. As a scientist, I can tell you that ADHD is not one illness. Researchers are wondering whether the hyperactive type and inattentive type should be split more formally into two completely different syndromes. They are also wondering whether inattentive ADHD is more akin to Asperger's and HFA. Research in mental health has so far to go! But to answer your question, ADHD-type issues run in families. Having a family member with ADHD increases the odds that another family member will have ADHD, but perhaps not present the same symptoms. [/quote]
