Research in the English medical journal, The Lancet, says it’s not too much sugar, bad diet, or poor parenting. Professor Anita Thapar, lead author of the study, says it’s likely genetic. Thapar and her group of scientists at Cardiff University in Wales compared 366 children with ADHD to [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.playattention.com/adhds-genetic-link/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The ADHD link to social dynamics</title><link>http://www.playattention.com/the-adhd-link-to-social-dynamics/</link> <comments>http://www.playattention.com/the-adhd-link-to-social-dynamics/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 21 Jun 2010 18:20:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Peter</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[ADHD]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Adderall]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Children]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Concerta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Diagnosis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Drugs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Genetics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Girls and Women]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Medications]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Modafinil]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Parents]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Research]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Ritalin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Strattera]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ADHD: Vyvanse]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brain Development]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brain Plasticity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Neuroplasticity]]></category> <guid

That’s just the tip of a very large iceberg. As a matter of fact, the term ‘attention deficit’ is actually a misnomer of sorts.

Is it possible that ADHD is the result of a brain that just develops slower than the brain of a child that doesn’t have ADHD? Research has shown that the ADHD brain may develop differently than one without ADHD.
