I believe there would be a high possibility. To give you an example:
My younger brother has: Autism, ADHD Tourette's Syndrome and Epilepsy.
During the time he was being assessed for Tourette's Syndrome, it was found that my father had a mild case of it.
In the last few months, I've been diagnosed with ADHD. I figured that what I was "feeling" was related to it and the likelihood that it could be ADHD because of my brother's pre-existing condition.
Check with a health professional, perhaps even a geneticist like my family did. It was more for the autism, but gave us a good idea for all of the disorders and the potential for if/when I decide to have my own children.
