Wasn't there a study in Denmark that basically proved that ADHD is caused by sending children to school too early and then forcing the usual classroom rigor on them? Delaying primary school until the age of 7 decreased ADHD rate by 73%


I seem to remember that study showed that delaying school reduced ADHD like behaviour, not ADHD itself.


This sounds like the claims about being given autism by vaccines - irresponsible and inaccurate.


Was there?


too


WTH?

ADHD is a neurogenetic disorder of executive function, it's not contagious, not acquired, not caused by video games, screens or the age at which schooling starts.
