    It’s pretty likely that the parents of neurospicy people are also neurospicy. ADHD and autism are both highly genetic, and these days many adults finally get diagnosed right after their kids do. I have both, and knowing what I know now it’s painfully obvious that both my parents are neurodivergent. My mom definitely has ADHD and likely also autism. My dad I’m pretty sure is just autistic. Neither of them will likely ever face the fact because they are determined to believe they are normal.
