Proud Blue Dog Democrat. asked:


I have both ADHD and dyslexia does that mean if I have a child will my kid have it too? I am not pregnant I am just wondering and preparing myself if my future child has special needs.
I know what its like to be special needs. I don’t want to see my child struggle like I did.
My whole family has ADHD too. It is genetic.
