"What if I don't actually have ADHD, I simply share some behavioral issues that make it seem like ADHD because I was raised by parents who did have ADHD and I just kind of adopted it from them?" - Me, like once a week since getting diagnosed.

If it helps, ADHD has a heritability of 77-88% according to one study. That's on par with height.

I'm like the tallest person in my family, too. I wonder if the grandpa on my mom's side I never met had it, too (it's where I supposedly get my height) 🤔
