    People with APD now have access to ANC headphones and are thus using them.

    I had APD in the 70s and I have it now. Difference is that i have ANC headphones now and can get them to block out what my brain won’t.

    Like the rise in ADHD and Autism diagnosis… There isn’t more cases, just diagnosis got better or more available.

    Correlation not causation.

    Idiots.

      It’s both.

      We’re finding that even things like microplastics are causing changes that’s not fully understood. There’s even a recent study that links an increase in histamine to worsened ADHD symptoms.

      And then there are things like poor sleep hygiene when very young can trigger a development of ADHD later on.

        FTFY. Correlation≠Causation, especially in cases like you mentioned. It’s a chicken and egg scenario.

        Are kids getting ADHD because they didn’t sleep well? Or is poor sleep hygiene an early indicator of ADHD? Lots of people with ADHD have poor sleep hygiene, even as adults. Many will struggle with things like Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, because they get their biggest bursts of focus late at night when everyone else is asleep, the brain is releasing dopamine to keep them awake, and distractions are limited. Every single adult with ADHD has stories about getting focused on a project right before bedtime, then suddenly realizing the birds are chirping outside their window and the sun is rising.
