Thanks for a full response. Really appreciated. Just one more quick question if you will:

Do you recognise yourself in the symptoms your son has, does it look like an inherited trait to you (I know that's not at all scientific). Do you have any suspicions for why this affliction might appear to be so prevalent amongst children now (other than observer bias or similar discrepancies).




There is definitely a hereditary component to it. And yes, the shoe might have fit for me as well.

My suspicion is that over time we're adjusting to having fewer kids and more attention/kid, and so are noticing and diagnosing problems that in previous generations went unnoticed.
