So we could easily relate stories as to why these other conditions were going to go up, but there was no prediction, again, mostly because I think the defensiveness of the ADHD community and not wanting to acknowledge as much that there's a real nurture component and not just a nature component. And yet what we've seen, just looking at prescriptions, and the media has jumped all over this,

not only have ADHD diagnosis gone up considerably, but also prescription stimulants have shot up dramatically in the last few years.

I'm going to step back and answer. I'll get to your answer, but I'm going to frame it two different ways first. One is, and I didn't come up with this, but I think it's one of the most insightful quips about ADHD, is that non-ADHD brains are importance-driven. If you know you have to move your car because you'll get a parking ticket, you go out and move it.

If you know taxes need to be paid in April, it's a boring, thankless job. Nobody... Maybe a few people enjoy it, but most of us aren't. CPAs are. You take care of it. The ADHD brain, in contrast, is an interest-driven brain. So they know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I should be doing my taxes, but hey, look at how the Warriors are doing in their basketball playoff game. Look at... this cool cat video.

Oh, I'd rather do something else. So regarding career or work, I think the most important thing is that it's interesting to you. So we can talk about realms of work or certain career paths, but if it's not compelling to you, if it's not interesting to you, it's going to be hard to work at it, even if it's structurally maybe a better support.

the prescription, so the kid went for two weeks without the medication, they started becoming more aware of ADHD in adults by seeing that the adults who were parents of these kids, and again, there's a strong genetic connection, had ADHD. So there are certainly wonderful, loving, supportive, nurturing parents with ADHD, but studies that have looked at trying to find some objective measures are
