ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting between 5 to 8% of children and 4% of adults according to the AMPQ. This is explained by neurochemical and neuroanatomical abnormalities. Careless errors, difficulty maintaining optimal attention, reacting to distractions easily, organizing, starting and finishing a task are examples of factors caused by ADHD. It is therefore caused either by a genetic predisposition or by environmental factors . Will or intelligence have nothing to do with it: the symptoms are caused by deficient executive functions in the individual which are totally independent of their good will.
