[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid with very severe ADHD (like referred for county eval by age 2.5). Learning about it I began to recognize symptoms in myself. I was also gifted growing up but with dyslexia. Turns out a lot of this stuff is comorbid and since girls can better conform to social norms it’s easier for us to mask. Through the process I also learned my mom had a late in life diagnosis (she was incorrectly diagnosed with anxiety throughout her life but could never find treatment that worked). I also have 2 cousins with ADHD on my maternal side. So yes, I think there is a big genetic component. One of the fastest growing categories to get diagnosed with ADHD are 30-something moms going through the neuropsych process with their kid since girls didn’t get properly diagnosed when we were young.
