Thanks Lisa highlighting this topic and Elaine for sharing your personal experience and journey.

Such an interesting topic, and the article had this to say:

"But maybe the most interesting finding is that not all screen activities had equal effects. For example: Playing video games with family had no significant association with the development of ADHD symptoms, while playing video games alone (even if playing with other people online) had a strong association with subsequent ADHD symptoms".  

This made me wonder about what some of the differences could be between playing with family and playing online.  Duration of gaming perhaps.  Level of intensity of competition, when the game is played (ie in the early evening vs overnight to accomodate different players in different time zones) and maybe even the types of games played?  

As the parent of a very active young boy, I have been doing some reading about the rates of prevalence that young boys get diagnosed with ADHD and I am so curious to see how this type of research will impact these rates, and perhaps even how we understand ADHD in the future.
