Findings underscore the need for interventions to reduce the costly dysfunctional outcomes in families of children with ADHD.
The cost of lost belongings, damaged items, missed classes, and incomplete participation in activities for which parents had paid in advance.Indirect Financial Burden on Parents The average costs for raising ADHD children in the study was US $15,036 per child versus US$2,848 per non-ADHD child.Of course, parents naturally assume the costs of raising their children, ADHD or not. But that doesn’t mean they can’t take steps to lower those costs, especially the added costs of raising children with ADHD. The immediate benefit of doing so is the ability to use the saved resources to further improve the life and experience of the family in other ways.

New Study Finds Humans Could Lose Vestigial Heads In Less Than 100 YearsDURHAM, NC—Shedding new light on the seemingly useless appendage, evolutionary biologists at Duke University published the results of a study this week in which they concluded that humans could lose their vestigial heads in less than 100 years. “We’re not exactly sure what purpose the head serves. Some say we need them to digest rocks, while others contend primitive man used them to smash things open, but there’s no consensus as to their function, yet all experts agree that we’ll soon be rid of them,” said lead researcher Dr. Dan McShea, who touted the ability to run faster as one of the many benefits of not being “burdened” by the misshapen secondary growth. “Heads were almost certainly integral at the onset of humanity, but now, they’re just useless. They’re frankly a gross deposit of cartilage, bone, and a surprisingly large cyst-like deposit of nerves. In other words, useless, from a biological standpoint, and they leave us incredibly vulnerable to decapitation. The humans of 200 years from now will be much better off without this pointless feature.” McShea cautioned the public against pursuing cosmetic cephalectomy surgery until the procedure has been proven safe.
