Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
The good news, is all of us regardless of whether or not we have ADHD or not, whether or not we had ample access to play during childhood or not, can engage and grow the neural circuits that allow for this incredible power of play. And this can be done again at any stage of life today.
And were the circuits for play not to be important in adulthood. They would've been pruned away, but I guarantee you, they are there in your brain and nervous system now, they will be there tomorrow and they will be there going forward.
