ADHD is genetic.

New things can be learned about ADHD and it is not proven as 100% genetic. Science is always evolving.

ADHD is predominantly genetic, yes, but whether or not those genetics impact you and how disabling it is depends highly on epigenetics, the combination of your genes and your environment during your early years.
