It shouldn't be called ADHD; it should be called restless brain syndrome.

  • We've known that this isn't true since 2005:

    In addition, plenty of other disorders show worse executive function than ADHD:

    If executive dysfunction is your primary issue, that is not indicative of ADHD. ADHD is driven by reward processing dysfunction and slower information processing:

  • I would be surprised if he said that, because that's blatantly incorrect:

    https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00328/full (Table 2, for example).

    Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder all produce or are associated with executive function impairments that are more severe than ADHD, and across various forms of EF. ADHD is the only one of those with its specific pattern of attentional and reward-related abnormalities, but broad EF deficits are common across forms of psychopathology.

  • In California, Arizona, and the like, dog pee will kill off grass at the park, too. Lots of places have grass that should have desert climate flora, and dog pee does damage there.

  • A lot of millennials are struggling though. Only a few figured it out. It could be even worse for GenZ.

    As a professor, I am terrified of what will happen when GenZ takes the reins. Without changing course content, GenZ has been failing what millennials passed without issue.
