so daydreaming is a coping mechanism that our brains use for boredom. boredom is something people with ADHD experience more frequently.
in other words, many daydreamers have ADHD but not all
Also, cognitive disengagement syndrome or CDS. (It is not recognized yet by the DSM, though).
Yep! CDS is at a weird place. I've worked with people who present that way - it's quite different from ADHD. I think over the years we're going to reshift some of how we look at ADHD and sister conditions.
I don't care who recognizes it as a disorder. If it exists, it exists.
