[QUOTE="isis, post: 567216, member: 15590"] I agree about the prevalence, is it increasing or not?? and definitely agree that perhaps a huge part of the problem is our current high speed overstimulating society and these kids being unable to accomodate to the wacko necessities of life these days (in my vision, mine would have been an excellent upstate new york farmer 100 years ago - he would have excelled rather than lagged). However there is no question in anyone's mind that there are poorly described environmental factors that are impacting other aspects of health with demonstrable increased prevelance of serious conditions in rich industrialized parts of the world - makes sense intuitively that neurodevelopment could be being affected as well. There [I]is[/I] research money going into [I]treatments[/I] for all sorts of medical conditions, and lots of it. It is quite possible that there would be a bigger bang for the buck to tease out preventable causes of debilitating childhood conditions then find new expensive medicines for cancer in older folks (but I'm not against cancer research! don't ding me for that!) in terms of 'quality life years impacted/saved' a real measure in medical research. Still preaching to the choir, I know. [/QUOTE]
