    Important notes: I briefly address ADHD medication at 04:02 Not every clinician tests with the EXACT same procedure, but they should follow the same guidelines for an accurate assessment. For a high-quality study on ADHD genetics which I referenced here, search for this paper: PMCID: PMC6477889
