Just a little introduction . . .

TLDR: Just a little introduction . . .
The forum thread introduces Lunacie, a 70-year-old grandmother who recently discovered she has ADHD, autism, and anxiety, much like her grandchildren. She suspects these conditions are hereditary, tracing back to her mother's family, and expresses a desire for scientific advancements to break this hereditary chain. Members of the forum warmly welcome Lunacie, offering support and expressing a willingness to share information and empathize with her situation. There is a light-hearted exchange about whether the conditions could be hereditary or caused by the stress of raising children, with a nod to the ongoing scientific efforts to manage genetic conditions. The overall tone of the thread is welcoming and supportive, with members eager to provide a community for Lunacie.

I'm a 70 year old grandmother to one kid with adhd and anxiety and another kid with autism and anxiety. Guess how I finally learned that I have adhd, autism, and anxiety?

Might not be hereditary, if so maybe she passed it on to them. If not, they gave it to her via aggravation! My mother used to say we kids were driving her to drink!

Pretty sure it's hereditary. Bunch of cousins, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, once removed, etc, who have these disorders. Came from my mom's family. From my dad I inherited Migraine Disorder and passed that on to my daughter and both grandchildren too. Wish science could find a way to break the chain of heredity.
