  • Nobody said environmental factors “cause ADHD”; this debate is about whether environmental factors can amplify presentation of executive dysfunction type symptoms in the genetically predisposed.

    You’re not “genetically predisposed” to ADHD. It’s not an allergy or cancer. Either you have it, or you don’t.

    No, but it does mean that it is incredibly unlikely that they are not sometimes exacerbated by environmental factors.

    Everything is exacerbated by environmental factors. Why single out ADHD here?




  • I believe things that are proven. Claiming ADHD is environmental without proof is on the same scale as “Vaccines cause Autism” and is used to claim shit like “Everyone has ADHD these days” or find something to blame for “causing ADHD” without ever supporting actual people with ADHD. The OP was literally using this exact argument to blame electronics for causing ADHD! This is muddying the waters and is not helping people with ADHD at all and is probably just harming them.
