Dr @sameerjauhar sat down with @AnushkaAsthana (@itvnews) to show how much earlier screening and #AI might help.

Is Donald Trump a fictional character played by a talented satirist?. There is a fundraising thing with his mugshot taken by the authorities following his surrender to them, with the caption "never surrender". Apparently it's raised over $7million.

New research has found #genetic #association between disruption in theta #brainwaves and #ADHD across the lifespan. This could indicate a #biomarker for ADHD and might offer a target for #intervention in the condition.

So Meta and Microsoft both have patents for the use of X in various contexts that appear to overlap with XwiXXer, or whatever this app/business is. Still, at least no-one has gone in for X as a company before.... Well, unless you count this https://t.co/ulAVM5218v by Google...

Well this is confusing, am I Xing? Tweeting? I have an X/Twitter app update which has changed a logo and a name, but the menu and actions are all tweets/retweets etc, not X, reXes... Which both sound silly by the way. I am reminded of this. https://t.co/1Z3RRV7zbM

Neurons get all the credit, they're like the movie stars, sports legends or whatever, but they are a mess without all the support they need. Here is another piece of research showing the importance of some of those supports https://t.co/pj08Rojj1H

Out today! Our study of education experiences of young people with ADHD in the UK. We made this infographic of the 'problematic provision loop' faced by young people, and in the paper recommend next steps for policy, local authorities and schools https://t.co/yfPWolkCCT

[Exeter Med School @ExeterMed]

New study says children and young people with ADHD often face problems and complications in their early education, characterised by disruption and a cycle of negative school experiences. Read the full story: https://t.co/PSepMFkJC4
