@xxeddiex @HowtoADHD @riley_spores Spam much?

@wildcat_of @dysautonomian @HowtoADHD I went through the same process 😂

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@SilentScreamNL @HowtoADHD I got it already on https://t.co/xJ2I2Dp2Qg!

@nath_ormond In a natural setting, yes, but it could then be used as a weapon, unlike most other feared bio weapons that would target everyone in the world. No?

@JMiguelDV @laurelyeye @lopezobrador_ "si las mujeres embarazadas son mujeres, por qué les dicen no sólo mujeres"? 😂

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner From my perspective, Barkley shares his frustration with how authoritative Maté can sound, without having very high standards of evidence in his communication. Maté in turn is frustrated by what he sees as the unnecessary medicalization of a social issue.

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner Thank you for elaborating. Time to dive in 😂.

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner In general, I see the disconnect as Barley coming from an academic background, and Maté from a clinician perspective. It often leads to this kind of communication, where one cites evidence from academic papers, the other one shares his experience with himself and with patients.

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner 4) Claims that ADHD as a heritable disorder would have been "pushed by evolution out of populations" (again, just a claim, and since ADHD prevalence estimates are around 5%, it's in line with other human heritable variations like autism, homosexuality, etc.)

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner 3) Puts heritability around 50-60% (it's much more likely around 80%)...

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner So far, what I can gather from the book is that Maté claims that 1) Emotional Sensitivity is the main cause of ADHD (without evidence beyond anecdote to support it) , 2) Nothing except the sensitivity is strongly heritable (again, just a claim)...

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner As in which is the main misrepresentation you see?

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner Is there a specific part that you can use as an example of it?

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@Haseo_KD @ADHDdesigner Care to elaborate?

@C_Kavanagh Oh no, another one of Sam's friends...

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@SisyphusRedemed Yeah it's a weird thing I've heard too, that science in general supports determinism.

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@SisyphusRedemed Could you mean that because the world seems to be better aproximated by non deterministic models, it therefore makes sense too usemental models like that of free will?

[Luis Boullosa @Lfvvb]

@SisyphusRedemed I'm not understanding. In what sense or context is the fact that evolutionary models try to be non-deterministic a good point? I'm very likely missing something.
