I have dozens of peoples of genetics from 23andMe.

There is no way anyone can tell me there is not a large genetic risk factor in developing ADHD and autism. Because I see it in the genetics of people who have ADHD and autism. The most frequent polymorphisms I found in ADHD belong in a gene called DDC or dopamine decarboxylase.

Does trauma play a role? Probably. But genetics amplifies the risk that trauma will initiate these disorders..

I have schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type and OCD and I see those in my genetics as well. And my childhood was traumatic as all get out. But that’s also because my disorder is genetic, and my mother and brothers were also mentally ill.

It’s not nature or nurture, it is always nature and nurture.
