    If you have any sources beyond “IMO” I’d be interested. Until then, I’ll consider the correlative data to possibly have merit at least worth consideration and further (personal) investigation, especially since it was never stated or even suggested to be definitive or a universal phenomenon. The article is also anything but comprehensive, so I think you’d need to review the actual data to debunk anything.

    Edit: I also never stated this was the sole and definitive cause, only that it may explain it. I’m a scientist, I know better than to definitively state just about anything, even in my own field, but I’ll still share interesting articles without busting out a MANOVA.








  • Keep in mind it manifests differently for everyone. I have it pretty mildly, so it’s fairly well managed through guanfacine, a similarly mild medication, and lifestyle changes. The only reason my psychiatrist and I know I have it is it “flares up” pretty badly when I’m stressed and my life easily goes off the rails as I increasingly begin to exhibit more ADHD behavior.

    It’s also possible you don’t have it as neurotypical folk experience most ADHD symptoms from time to time, just with less frequency and severity.
