Reply to comment by Rubyhamster in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

Isn't "learning away your eyesight" basically what happens with a lazy eye?

Phrasing may be bad but neuroplasticity is powerful stuff. Definitely can't eliminate underlying chemical/mechanical differences but can do a lot to compensate for them.

Yeah, a fascinating example is how a child with half a brain can grow up normally. But as far as we have figured, ADHD is very heritable and genetically determined. So there must be something in our genome we can't change. Evolutionists think ADHD have been largely beneficial up until recent societies. Why else would an estimated 10% be further towards ADHD than neurotypical?
