Yeah, it actually really depends on your level of understanding ADHD.
Yup. It's a developmental disorder instead of a mental illness (like autism). Our frontal lobe or prefrontal cortex didn't develop properly.
I think ADHD is a horrible name for it. Executive Functioning Disorder is a much more accurate name.
Uhhh, autism is a developmental disorder as well, it's not a mental illness. It's often comorbid with mental illnesses, but so is ADHD.
Yeah, I definitely phrased that poorly. I meant what you said, that they're both developmental disorders
