text: if adhd possibly comes from genes is it possible that most of their children have adhd?   i have 4 children... my husband is adhd and i am add... we did not realize this until we had our son tested for adhd. i do know that when we started to see the signs in our son we started to realize that the problems and certain things we did as kids were the same things our son does. our girls who are next in line have add and adhd symptoms. the same symptoms my son had not to mention that they look like mirror images of ourselves. we have a small house and our house gets pretty loud and wild. we are a happy family. my husband and i believe that his siblings may have some of the same symptoms. so in my opinion and experience yes it is possible.
