Absolutely.

In so many ways.

Let's start with something like ADHD.

So if you look at the ADHD child, the child with ADHD is living in a world that is not designed to help them succeed.

The benchmarks that we have, for example, sitting in a classroom for eight hours a day is not something we're biologically designed for.

Now, the majority of children can alter their natural biological tendency.

Their frontal lobes are strong enough to where they can sit down in the chair for long enough.

but these neuro-atypical kids struggle with that.

So what tends to happen is that the real world becomes difficult for them to succeed in.

And if you look at a study, for example, of comorbid people with ADHD and depression,

3% of the people with depression will develop ADHD.

70% of the people with ADHD will develop depression.

And the reason for that is because growing up as a neuroatypical kid in a neurotypical world leads to a lot of shame, a lot of ostracization.

There are some studies that show that by the first or second grade, the average child with ADHD will not be invited to a single birthday party.

Because everyone's in line for the slide and the kid with ADHD doesn't respect the line.

The kids don't like them.

They get ostracized.

So there's a lot of negativity in the world if you're raising an ADHD child.

It's hard to get them to study.
