    ADHD is not a “trait.” It is a highly variable syndrome.

    re: “11% of children ages 4-17 are diagnosed with ADHD.”

    We don’t have reliable figures on diagnosis rates. The best we have are results from a phone survey done by the CDC, asking parents, “Has a healthcare professional ever said your child has ADHD.”

    There is no “explorer gene” and Archer is not a geneticist. He’s not even a scientist. So, he really has no business “stretching” the truth there.

    ADHD is not about “how you process information.” There is no such thing as “brain processing.”

    The brain is complex. It’s not a laptop.

    Geez. I know you’re a business-y guy, but try to show some responsibility in the information you share. Promoting misinformation (and disinformation) is not honest or moral.
