Longitudinal study on the relationship between childhood maltreatment and ADHD
Obligatory counter-anecdote: by all accounts, I was a cheerful, happy little baby. My parents are wonderful people and we&#x27;re a tight-knit family. And yet, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD by a doctor who, after finishing the diagnostic screening, asked &quot;how are you not homeless?&quot;<p>I also have a kid who was diagnosed at a young age. Said kid was also a cheerful, happy little baby that we love dearly and did our best to raise into an amazing young adult.<p>Which is to say that I&#x27;m not arguing against the study, but ADHD doesn&#x27;t automatically mean neglect, or vice versa.
