Picture this: it’s back-to-school season, and you’re sitting across from your child’s new teacher at a meet-and-greet. You take a deep breath and start explaining that your kid has ADHD, or autism, or both. The teacher nods along and says something like, “Oh, don’t worry! I always make sure to teach to their learning style.” And you smile. Because it’s a kind thing to say. But somewhere in the back of your mind, a little voice whispers, “But... what does that actually mean?”

ADHD is highly genetic, so even if you think your child MIGHT have ADHD, rasing them as if they did can help your children just the same.
