1 day agoYeah, that’s almost what the research articles I read suggested a few years back. Like, it’s allegedly difficult to diagnose an adult who has modified their behavior over the years. So most people would need to have at least some indication of having had ADHD when they were younger to confirm their diagnosis as adults.
That’s not to say that adults with ADHD don’t exist, but the rate does significantly decrease to about half.
(Please let me know if I’m wrong, it’s been a while since my days of genotyping.)
I remember back in my Twitter days some creationist was arguing along those lines and suddenly asks, “but how does evolution create new genes??”
I briefly explained gene duplication and mutational drift and I think their entire worldview shattered when they stopped responding. Because honestly, understanding that is key. Lol
