Needs to be stressed - once again - that this is how ADHD presents externally, and mainly in childhood.
Internally, and through adulthood, ADHD is a very different beast.
Thank you, that was powerful.
Same with c-PTSD and ASD
Scored a near 100 on this.
I wonder what exacly traumatized me…Trauma can be a gradual thing that ends up forming unhealthy coping mechanisms over prolonged periods of time.
Say you are forgetful (as most of us with ADHD are) and you get in trouble from your parent or guardian for it. One instance of that may not be traumatic, but say this happens hundreds or even thousands of times as you age.
It may not feel traumatic in the moment, but you may develop a shameful disposition to your forgetfulness. That is trauma even if it doesn’t cause a dramatic or explosive reaction.
