@bmutluseferoglu Kardeş araştırmalarında da katma değer yaratmaktan daha çok kaynak tükettikleri görülüyor. %300 gibi bir durum olsaydı, bu istatistiklere de yansırdı. Sonuç muhtemelen tanı için başvuru ile ilgili. Üst sosyo-ekonomik grup kendisi ile daha meşgul oluyor. https://t.co/ZTitzn7CAa

@_154831 I live with + know many family + others who struggle with ADHD, as well as other disabilities, + I'm going to push back on this. Yes, it is usually treatable, but the costs / challenges for many are just as real as other mental disorders, etc. See: https://t.co/VQZnbkFgcs
