Simone Biles: Olympic Gold Medalist has ADHD

# data[].attributes.body
U.S. Olympic champion Simone Biles took to Twitter to let the world know she has ADHD. The gymnastics powerhouse, who won the all-around Gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics, says she’s had it since she was a kid. “Having ADHD, and taking medicine for it is nothing to be ashamed of nothing that I'm afraid to let people know.” Her tweet came after Russian hackers leaked confidential World Anti-Doping Agency records that showed she had tested positive for the ADHD medication Ritalin. USA Gymnastics issued a statement saying Biles had permission to take the medication and there was no violation.

With ADHD, people have the qualities of ADD but also are impulsive or hyperactive. Medical scientists think that ADD and ADHD are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. The front part of the brain (just behind the forehead) helps you pay attention, concentrate, organize things, and put the brakes on impulsive or unacceptable behavior. In people with ADD or ADHD, the front part of the brain may not be able to use the brain’s main signal senders, neurotransmitters, the way it is supposed to. The front part of the brain has very little to do with intelligence, so it is possible to have ADD or ADHD and still be very smart.
