And so being in this space for the last 28 years, you absolutely are seeing a rise in everything.

Everything is going up.

And

And, you know, I think back to when I was a kid, we didn't have kids who were, you know, labeled as much.

And I think it's more, there's a bit of this that is, we're now, we now know what to look for and we now are giving it a name.

So-

ADHD, you know, there was just the hyper kids, you know, and there was back if you if you go back to the one room schoolhouses back in the day, the teacher always had a pot of coffee in the back of the room.

And she and because ADHD kids stimulants.

actually calm them down.

It's the opposite of what it would be if you weren't.

So if you drank a big cup of coffee, you're kind of buzzed, while an ADHD kid would be calmed down.

So back in those days, they would give the kids coffee.

Back in my day when I was young, you know, it was just the hyper kids.

It was just those kids that would like run around and needed to run constantly.

So I think part of it is we are naming it more.

But there has absolutely been a massive increase in autism awareness.

That is just one of those things that, and anxiety since COVID, those things have significantly increased and those are due to environmental.

There's a lot of different things that have kind of created that issue right now.

Or do you ever drink an energy drink and you're like, I don't get energy from it?

You know, my sons were drinking that the other day.
