[blparent] toddler in crowds

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

It's like saying that everybody who breathes might develop asthma some day. 
Everybody breathes, all toddlers wander.  Some people get asthma, but it's 
not because they breathe.  Some toddlers get ADHD, but it's not because they 
wander, or we'd all have ADHD because we all wandered!
