In Short: An expert in the United Kingdom is clarifying misconceptions about ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, stating that the name itself can be misleading and that the condition is often misunderstood.
An expert in the United Kingdom is clarifying misconceptions about ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, stating that the name itself can be misleading and that the condition is often misunderstood.
The expert notes that ADHD is not caused by poor parenting, excessive sugar intake, or screen time, dispelling common myths.
The expert describes a scenario where a parent might feel overwhelmed and uncertain about whether their child's behavior is typical or indicative of ADHD.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, Lindsay Clancy's defense team argued for a not guilty verdict in her trial for the murder of her three children.
Clancy is charged with first-degree murder in the fatal strangling of her children: 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan.
The defense team attacked the evidence against Clancy, including claims that she admitted to killing her children and that her blood was found on the exercise bands used in the killings.
The prosecution countered, presenting evidence that Patrick Clancy, Lindsay's then-husband, was heard screaming in agony and shock upon finding his children.
Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead at a hospital, while Callan was airlifted to Boston Children's Hospital, where he died three days later.
The case ended in a mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
In unrelated news, Prince Harry and Meghan moved their children, Archie and Lilibet, to a new undisclosed school in the UK.
The decision was made following a discussion with the family's security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements.
The couple emphasized that this decision should not be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children had received.
