This article is based on a story posted at CBN.com. The article states that scientists have found a direct link to show that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is genetic. A study shows that:
"Children with ADHD are twice as likely to have missing or extra chromosomes, according to the study published Thursday in the medical journal The Lancet."
The article points out that:
"ADHD is one of the most common child mental disorders and is estimated to affect around 3 to 5 percent of children globally."
So where is the hope? I personally do not understand the difference between Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficity Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but I have some hope for parents of children with ADD. There is a book entitled, "Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping With Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood through Adulthood" by Edward M. Hallowell, M. D. and John J. Ratey, M. D. As someone who is married to a person I consider the poster child for ADD, I love this book. Both the authors have ADD and the book has a lot of examples of simple things you can do as a person with ADD or the parent of a child with ADD that make life run more smoothly. The book is available at Amazon.com. I strongly recommend it. It gave me hope to know that two men with ADD could successfully get through medical school and become doctors. My husband is a successful computer person. I would also like to add that one of my daughters has ADD and is a successful electrical engineer. ADD seems to work differently in girls than boys, but I can say without a doubt that every child I have met with ADD is a bright child. We just need to learn to help them deal with their uniqueness. I am currently watching that process with one of my grandchildren. In my family ADD evidently is genetic.
While planning to give an educational programmer it is good to try and communicate the message well to the affected people who are expected to attend. Students looking to essay heaven services for doing online assignments as well as improve the study level. This is because when they understand well what the programmer is all about they are able to prepare well in advance including getting ready whatever is required for that day if any.
