I’m going to be real here. I don’t think it has to do with ADHD. I think it has to do with tablet use.

Parents today hand their children tablets when they’re babies, I have seen a literal baby in a back carrier with a phone. Then they wonder why their child doesn’t have an attention span and can’t focus and can’t learn and can’t self regulate. Obviously children whose parents emphasize outdoor play or play in general more than tablet or screen time have children who are better behaved. Duh.

Don’t say “but my child needs the tablet to self regulate”. Only because that’s what you taught them to do. That’s the only reason.

Yep. I don’t have any kind of ADHD diagnosis and while I’ve had some symptoms my whole life, even when I barely used electronics at all, I’m at my worst the more I use my phone and social media. It has a serious effect on me and I bet other neurotypical people as well.
