This document discusses the misdiagnosis of ADHD in African American males. It notes that African American males are often incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD when other issues may be present, like learning disabilities. Cultural and socioeconomic factors can influence perceptions and assessments. An exploratory case study is proposed that would interview 100 African American males ages 6-12 to determine if their ADHD diagnoses were accurate based on DSM-IV criteria, parent and teacher surveys, and a new assessment. The study expects to find that at least 2 out of 5 participants were misdiagnosed due to biases.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?
What is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder?
Inattentive, hyperactive & impulsive to excessive degree compared with their peers.

Dietary paterrns of autistic chidren - Copy.pptxArif Majeed
Autism is a complex developmental and non-curable neurobiological condition that typically appears during the first three years of life. (Christensen et al., 2016).
Although the onset of symptoms for most children occurs during late infancy some may not display any symptoms until they are of 2 years after a period of comparative growth.
It effects brain function predominantly in the areas of social interaction and communication skills that results in varying degrees of difficult socialization, verbal and nonverbal communications, repetitive and problematic behavior.
The challenging manners of these children disrupt the food choices which in turn affect nutritional status and growth. Irritabilities and anxiety can be associated with introduction of new food.(K. Barnhill et al., 2017).
Autism is prevalent worldwide with male are effected almost five times more than female.(Salih,et.al,2017). In Honk Kong 1 in 27 and in Norway 1 in 196, whereas in Pakistan 1 in every 50 children can be autistic. There are approximately 350,000 autistic children in Pakistan however, the actual number remains hidden due to underreporting, misdiagnosis and social causes.
Regular nutritional screening and evaluation of Autistic children is an important clinical deliberation as they may have numerous risk factors that seem to intensify the occurrence of nutrient insufficiencies.
