I am not sure which resources were consulted with respect to the the gendered prevalence of ADHD in particular. ADD is still used colloquially but, it is my understanding, that it is no longer a diagnostic term. What was once ADD is now ADHD primarily inattentive presentation and while it does seem that many girls have this presentation, contributing to so many women being identified late as the challenges are less likely to be externalised, I don’t know that there is necessarily evidence that ADHD (presumably hyperactive and combined presentations) is more common in boys, only that it is more often identified in boys.

Thank you so much for this interesting insight into PANS and PANDAS. Do you think the causes are related to a disorder of the immune system and therefore linked to neurological development?  The question now in my mind is whether those who have experienced sudden onset of symptoms post vaccination may also be because they are susceptible in a similar way as those children who have suffered PANS or PANDAS following an infection?  Is there any research on this?

Wish we could hear the feedback from the audience.

Be good if we could see the presenter

Hi there! I can't see the link to this podcast. Is it missing?

I wanted to share this article written by Helen Forrester because of the efficacy of yoga in school for children with SEN. As a parent and yoga therapist I have seen the difference a regular yoga class can make firsthand with my son, who has Autism, and who has learned skills through his yoga practice.
