I wish they had this for ADHD, the struggles of real ADHD have gotten watered down by people thinking every brain imperfection is ADHD

How do you get a genetic match? I was diagnosed with “Asperger’s” in ‘08 but I don’t think I got a genetic test for it.

What are they matching you with exactly? A specific gene? That’s really cool that your university did that research!! If you don’t mind me asking, what university do you go to?
