Association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Many thanks for forwarding the letter from T. Kawada [1] addressing our manuscript on the lack of association between ADHD and ALS in this journal [2]. In principle, the author points out that this topic would deserve further epidemiological studies to come to a more substantiated conclusion. Pathophysiological considerations alone would not suffice to exclude a causal relationship between these two neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative, respectively, conditions.
