If you suspect you might have ADHD, if you have children with a neurotypical woman, what is the probability of them getting it? and what influences it? Which sex matters more? How could you best naturally get rid of any neurodivergence in your offspring? What percentage of people are not fully neurotypical?Since this is a public forum, I meant to ask this as exclusively from personal experiences and beliefs. In mine, my mother is the one that definitely isn't fully neurotypical. She has minor tics, inattention and is prone to malignant daydreaming, all of which she is in denial of. However, she did finish university and has no signs of dyslexia. Her father was like this, and his mother. But not her (my mother's) mother, and her brother is strictly neurotypical, as are his children. I think the mother is more important since the children grow in her. If she is not fully neurotypical, she likely has coexisting inflammation, digestive health issues, sleep problems, intertwined with unwanted epigenetic expressions, that all influence the fetus. Of course, these factors can drastically improve in the next generation.I think there have to exist tangible natural mechanisms to get rid of neurodiversity, because if not, we'd all be corrupt in some way by now. If say 10 percent of people have any kind of neural flaw that is polygenic in nature, say minor adhd or tics, dyslexia or narcissism, and you could not get rid of it trough normal breeding, there likely would not have been any normal people left after hundreds of generations, since only one foul ancestor could corrupt your lineage forever.
I've heard that autism is well correlated to heredity and I believe that from personal experience, but I've never seen the hard data. Would be interesting if someone could find the phenotypes in parents correlated with autistic children.
>>16854510the key is having children before the mother is 25 at the absolute latest, and even that is pushing it. 16-20 is the sweet spot. of course when you have all these hags waiting to finish college, travel the world and fuck 200 chads before they think about having a kid you will have all of types of fucked up babies popping out.
>>16854543>he didn't have sex in college.
Isn't it more likely because of how polluted our environment has gotten?older parental age may play a role just because you increase the amount of toxins you're exposed to
>>16854510I could study my case by having offspring with that girl.The things I would for science.
>>16854525>>16854543Sup. I'm clinically AudDHD and my mother had me before 23 years of age. Her side of the family is full of prodigies.Too many assumptuons and conflated ideas to thoroughly respond to OP, but I'll say this:I wouldn't want to change that part of my brain or how I think, nor the inattention. It's all part of who I am, and although it comes with difficulties it also allows me to hold different perspectives that others cannot, as well as the freedom and creativity to make things that other people consume, and a talent for teaching others or summarizimg things.There's no getting rid of it, at the moment. Not everyone with autism and ADHD is low functioning or incapacitated anyway. I struggle with life skills but also excel at many things, and have tested as "High Above Average IQ" which means intelligent enough to understand that IQ measures IQ, and that ADHD/Autism are mental labels fir symptoms of something we don't understand well yet, but is strongly heritable (can still appear as a random mutation in a family with no history)
>>16855233>I wouldn't want to change that part of my brain or how I think, nor the inattention. It's all part of who I am,Well that's not entirely true, considering I've gone through treatment and take medication. Would not want to reverse it beyond that; maybe in some future when these things are better understood
>>16855233>"High Above Average IQ"unless you are a genius, it's nothing to brag about. high above average can mean one in 20 or less>it also allows me to hold different perspectives that others cannoti doubt it, there is no evidence for that
My super normie younger brother was born when our mother was 41.
>>16855258Not bragging about IQ, it's not as if it's a great indicator of anything. I bring it up because modern sci consists of 80% posts that appeal to the cult of IQ scores >>it also allows me to hold different perspectives that others cannot>i doubt it, there is no evidence for thatI'm not making a stringent, evidence-based scientific claim here, to be clear. Every person has a uniqueperspective regardless of their body and mind. My conjecture is that being neurodivergent would likely bias a person's actions and experiences enough that cumulatively they might add up to viewpoints that deviate from the norm more than usual, insofar as these things can be well quantified and measured
>>16855233Diagnosed AudHD too. My uncle and two of my cousins are high functioning autistics but, apart from that, no other invididual in my family has it. Both of my parents were in their forties when I was born so that may have significantly increased my risk. Two individuals in my family have perfect pitch and one is amidextrous, although they are not autistic, I have heard that the likelihood for both of these rare abilities is far higher in autistic individuals than the normal population, so perhaps there could be underlying genes that link them. If I ever have kids, and that's a big if, it would only be daughters as autism and ADHD are debilitating, and women are far less likely to have either condition.
>>16854510I don't feel like this whole ADHD and autism thing has much relevance or is anything other than a combination of pharmaceutical diseasemongering and people being neurotic. Strikes me as the kind of things that is propagated in the name of improving life but ultimately only serves to forcibly align deviants, punish social deviance and force a kind of conformity that primarily serves the 1 % by making people crazy over how they can even better fit into corporate culture.
