Half of my house’s doors had lead paint, buried underneath a layer of safe paint, but it still exposed the kids to lead dust. My kids’ lead symptoms began before they began crawling, and their doctors think it’s because they were exposed to construction in my neighborhood. It took months to schedule a professional lead test to ascertain all the lead hazards in our house. I’m furious that I didn’t know lead poisoning was something that could happen in 2025, not just pre-1978. In many ways, it mimics ADHD and autismso perfectly that kids with lead poisoning are often misdiagnosed.
