I mean, is technology fueling this or triggering this? I don't know if I should trust what these people are saying. They are saying it is part genetic and part environmental. Maybe it is genetic in the sense that the brain is genetically able to be short-circuited when the environment becomes hostile to its development. I don't know. I see the explosive ADHD and wonder why. My musing should not be taken as an accusation against any parent. I just don't know. But it's scary to see that this is happening and no one telling why.

Like every other disease out there, it is a combination of factors. Some types of early-age TV could be a contributor along with other electronic gadgetry. Then I would suspect hereditary factors and the parents predisposition inculcated through the environment. Diet may play a role, perhaps specific foods. Environment might also figure in too. In short any one thing is not going to cause it nor will the absence of any one or two things prevent it.
