I wonder how many kids that are diagnosed with ADD are from single family homes (ie; just mom....before I get flamed, I know there are many valid reasons for having to raise your child alone)I am curious as it seems like little boys are more likely to be diagnosed then girls (am I wrong here?) and perhaps I wonder how the lack of a male figure in the house plays into this..if at all.

Perhaps in some cases this may be an attribute, but not in my daughters

See my post #137. It's not just ADD that's more prevalent in boys.
