Masked ADHD? Just ADHD. There is no progression. Meds are unreliable. Moreover, my opinion is that this particular place on the spectrum is where ADHD and Asperger's meet. Stated differently, the puzzle of ADHD-PI may be that it is instead a symptom of (sometimes very high functioning) autism.
- siva7 3y agoThat’s not where the actual scientific research about Maladaptive Daydreaming is hinting at. It’s not just ADHD, it checks also many marks with a PTSD or Dissociation but is still unique with its other characteristics.
- mrangle 3y agoThe "actual scientific research" will be most abundant and reliable for ADHD being correlated with this symptom. In fact, ADHD is frequently diagnosed using only this symptom along with any quantity of unavoidable life inhibiting factors that proceed from it. You'd find it an impossible feat to put together an adult subject group that excludes the PTSD variable, or a child group that includes it. Psychologists will find it impossible to use PTSD in differential diagnosis, given its frequency for ADHD (and autistic) individuals.
