According to some sources, ADD and ADHD affect somewhere between 3% and 5% of all children. It actually gets diagnosed in up to 16% of all school aged children, which suggests that it may be over-diagnosed. While the conventional belief for years was that a person would "outgrow" it, more recent research suggests that up to 50% of children with it will continue to have symptoms into adulthood. Since behavior modification has been shown to be an effective component in treatments with ADD/ADHD, it is quite possible that the reason more adults who were diagnosed with ADD/ADHD as kids don't show symptoms as adults is that they learned to cope with it, not that it went away.
It has also been noted genetics seems to play a role in ADD/ADHD. Close relatives of people with ADD/ADHD are much more likely to also have ADD/ADHD than the general population. Males are roughly 2 to 3 times as likely to be ADD/ADHD as females. The gender difference may be due to higher susceptibility of males to ADD/ADHD or just a result of females being less likely to be diagnosed.

How do antibiotic resistant bacteria come about?
This term is misleading. The antibiotic "selects" bacteria that are not affected by it. If a person will grow bacteria on a petri dish and add an antibiotic to it, some bacteria may live and grow. This is actually a form of natural selection. The ones that will grow are resistance to the antibiotic. They have some way of not being affected. If a person takes a colony from the plate that has this resistance and grows it on another plate and add the antibiotic, all on the plate will be resistant.
