One of the top ADHD docs/researchers basically said that ADHD is associated with older parents having having kids - that age means there’s more likelihood of the parents’ DNA having defects in egg and sperm, and that means more ADHD. Same with likelihood of Autism, which has a link to paternal age.
And, of course, it’s not that there are more people with ADHD (though that’s true to an extent), it’s just that they were never diagnosed in the first place.
Thanks for clarifying it.
