I would be very interested to see a study about how these cells function under ADHD, because as I'm sure any sufferer would tell you - our time perception is very very weird.
- Loughla 6y agoMy experience is that it is much more difficult to focus on any individual task, but much easier to enter a 'flow' state with ADHD. If I can manage to do 'thing a', I find that often, all the world falls away - regardless of what the thing is. I also have a theory, completely unfounded and out of my own ass, that ADHD and other similar issues are just part of the spectrum that is autism. Any scientist want to confirm my personal belief?
- sosodev 6y agoFrom what I understand ADHD and Autism share some symptoms but ADHD isn’t part of the spectrum because the causes are different. It’s generally understood that the effects of ADHD diminish as you get older but the effects of Autism do not.
- lexicality 6y agoMy current understanding from the research I've read but don't have to hand: a) A lot of people with ADHD also have autism so the symptoms get lumped together but ADHD's actual symptoms (executive function issues, time blindness, rejection sensitivity, unexpected drug interactions etc) are completely unrelated b) ADHD symptoms never go away, adults just learn to hide them and develop coping strategies because it's largely socially unacceptable to be weird
