Ep. 3: Causes of ADHD, Autism, Anxiety and Learning Disorders

Today's episode is all about causes of ADHD, Autism, Anxiety and Learning Disorders. When kids have things like ADHD or anxiety, parents often wonder if they caused it, either through genes or choices they've made. We're going to talk about some common differences kids have: ADHD, autism, anxiety, and learning disorders.

We’ll also discuss how parents play a role in these. We’ll discuss how parents of kids with ADHD sometimes feel judged by society. But ADHD is mostly biological, not due to bad parenting. Kids with ADHD just have brains that develop differently. Next we’ll talk about autism. Genetics and how kids' brains grow are part of it. Parents don't cause autism. Kids with autism think and feel things differently.

Anxiety is also discussed in this episode. Genes, biology, and how kids are wired play a role. Sometimes, parents who worry a lot can teach kids to worry too. But it's not all on parents. Kids' feelings are also part of the mix. Learning disorders, like trouble with reading or math, are also discussed very gravely.

So without any further ado, let’s dive straight into the episode and learn how the brain of a child with differences and disorders works.
