The fact is, behavior is one of the worst "Illnesses" to treat and if the symptoms align and are treated the exact same way and the behavior never goes away or can be effectively fixed, then what exactly is the difference?

Am I going to shun someone that has experienced the same things as me but the reasons they experience these things are different? No. That doesn't add up.

Firstly, without delving deeper than the abstract, the linked article only seek to assess the prevalence of adult diagnoses, not whether the people exhibited symptoms in childhood. So at first glance the article doesn't appear to be arguing for adult onset ADHD without childhood symptoms.

Secondly, any condescension is purely interpreted. I mean no disrespect. I may be quite sharp in my communication, but that's because I have somewhat of a problem with people advising based on nothing more than their feelings or a hunch.

All anyone really should be replying is "IDK, I'm not qualified to provide medical advice, if you think someghing is wrong, you should go see a doctor" ... but I mean, that would make for quite the boring thread.

So then you agree that both of our back and forths, including both of our original comments, are redundant and they should go get checked? Okay. Let me fix my comment to make that more clear👍

Abso-fucking-lutely. This conversation should have ended with "go see a real doctor, this is the internet, we would prescribe horse dewormer if we could". The rest has just been an intellectual circle jerk TBH.
