“The evidence is quite clear that the medications that are currently FDA-approved and prescribed to treat ADHD in particular are fairly well tolerated.
Title: Use of the new human telomere-to-telomere genomic reference improves variant calling and phasing in regions flanking developmental disorder-associated copy number variants Legend: Genotyping and switch error rates spike in areas flanking CNV disorder associated regions. Average error rates obtained when phasing short read variant calls from 39 individuals using either the T2T-CHM13 1KGP haplotype panel …
Mothers of children with developmental disabilities experience long-term stress, adapting for many years but showing signs of ‘wear-and-tear’ starting around age 65, affecting their physical and mental health.
Parenting a child with a developmental disability can be a profound source of stress, particularly for mothers.
