Thanks, Jane.
We will probably have to either end this discussion or move it, since it does stray from the thread topic.

Genetic factors are not always at play. Nor do many parents of similarly disabled children appreciate that kind of inference.

Yes, I agree that there is still much unknown.
But I wonder why parents would be upset with "that kind of inference".
Here are two entries from two wiki pages. The best thing about the wiki site is that these articles can be challenged.
Twin studies indicate that the disorder is highly heritable and that genetics are a factor in about 75% of ADHD cases.
Autism has a strong genetic basis, although the genetics of autism are complex and it is unclear whether ASD is explained more by multigene interactions or by rare mutations.
So I would expect many challenges to these entries from offended parents.
We could always carry such conversations on at your new site?
