From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADHD
- ADHD is a developmental disorder, in that, in the diagnosed population, certain traits such as impulse control significantly lag in development when compared to the general population[8]. This developmental lag has been estimated to range between 30-40 percent in ADHD patients in comparison to their peers[citation needed]; consequently these delayed attributes are considered an impairment. ADHD has also been classified as a behavior disorder and a neurological disorder [9] or combinations of these classifications such as neurobehavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders. ADHD and ADD are not yet proven to be genetic disorders. Some people get it though without being exposed to anything or damaging their head.
