👋💜 The latest link, ADHD and dementia. We know ADHD is hereditary, but we also know of the links between ADHD and substance abuse. It's important to also think about the work and lifestyle that would be "typical" for an adult with ADHD. Many of our soldiers, firefighters, police officers, teachers, paramedics and other intense positions that allow for more "doing" are the careers ADHDers find themselves excelling in. We are thrill seekers, travelers and multi-taskers and all of this can create a life of fun but also a life that sees and feels a lot of difficult things.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy reading about this stuff and seeing how it fits in with my own family (and it does), but I often find the strengths of this population are ignored or misunderstood and all we're left with are the negatives. 🧠💜

Link between ADHD and dementia across generations A large study has found a link between ADHD and dementia across generations. The study shows that parents and grandparents of individuals with ADHD were at higher risk of dementia than those with children and grandchildren without ADHD.

Just in case you come to my house and you’re unsure of what you’re walking into. My children will always know that love is love and so will all of their friends. ♥️

Most days definitely do not start out like this BUT there isn’t a day that I’m not reminded of how lucky I am to have these little people call me “mom”. It’s not about gender, finances or whatever you think is “perfect”. I don’t care if it’s a bio child, adopted, your niece, nephew or the neighbor kid down the street. EVERY single child wants and deserves love. Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who continue to choose love, regardless of how they were mothered. ❤️
