I’m all over the board on this one. I’ll just take my adhd diagnosis and scurry along my way

Same, I'm currently too occupied by my recent ADHD diagnosis to worry about what else might be going on up there.

Treat the symptoms but dig deep as well and see what you can do to alleviate the causes and perform preventative maintenance <3

I find myself thinking in metaphor and using comparisons and symbolism often. So it’s interesting to see it on a diagram. I was diagnosed in the 90s when all of this stuff was a complete blackbox. It’s nice to get some traction as an adult trying to understand why their brain can’t adhere to a lot of common patterns and expectations.

This one is interesting. I’m adult diagnosed and have a job/love learning. Not sure gifted is appropriate given my anxiety and executive function though

why can't you be gifted and also have anxiety/executive dysfunction? those are not mutually exclusive
