The piece highlights how developmental and neurological traits run in families, meaning many adults only recognise their own neurodivergence after their child is assessed. Commenters and parents are responding to the idea that a child's diagnosis often prompts reflection on the whole family's history.
Why now: Growing public interest in neurodiversity and late diagnosis in adults is driving attention to the genetic and familial patterns behind it
