AUTISM Spectrum disorder

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning and development. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with sustaining focus, organizing tasks, and controlling impulsive behaviors. While ADHD often begins in childhood, it can persist into adulthood.

Causes for Autism

The exact causes of ADHD are not fully understood, but research suggests that it is likely to be a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors.

Maternal Factors: Maternal factors, such as maternal stress during pregnancy, maternal age, and maternal mental health, may influence the risk of ADHD in children.
Neurotransmitter Imbalance: Neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, play a crucial role in regulating attention and impulse control. An imbalance or dysregulation of these neurotransmitters may contribute to ADHD symptoms.
Brain Injury or Trauma: In some cases, brain injuries, trauma, or neurological disorders may contribute to the development of ADHD symptoms.
