- ADD etc, was Re: Irish School Boys Drop Dead of Heart Failure

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Don't want to nit pick here, but ADD, ADHD, etc were very much present

long ago - just called different names and not as universally

recognized. Autism has been around a long time also, and the

definition has been broadened to include more people. I've read that

it is still on the rise, however. There are definitely genetic

components to all of these conditions.
