Hey. I found your video very interesting and informative, and would like to use some of the information for a paper than I am writing in regards to a mock IEP for a child with ADHD. Would you mind telling me your name or a manner by which I can cite references to your work, as to give you credit for the information provided (if it is alright with you that I reference your project, of course)?

[mransel]

@guerita100909 Glad you liked it! Feel free to use and cite anything from my video (though I take no credit for the images). For your citations, my name is Michael Ansel. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions!

Thanks for your time and effort in this area. Slowly but surely I think I'm begginning to understand that I have ADD. I've always been marked lazy since middle school, been depressed for really no reason at all, fidget when I'm trying to think of the next thing to say, forget things very easily, etc ... I could go on.

This confirms my believe. Though do you recommend medication? You are presenting the topic as though you would, but never say directly.

Excellent video.

I'm curious where you found the information about "causes" and correlations with ADHD. As I understand it, the only correlations that has shown any strength is with certain genes (which you did mention) and with low folic acid in the pregnant mother. Other correlations have simply not held up or been replicable. (For example, the decrease in the suspected chemical in agricultural sprays has not produced a decrease of ADHD incidences.)
