1
What are the types of ADHD?
The DSM-5's three ADHD 'types' don't hold up. Current research treats inattention and hyperactivity as continuums that shift across a lifetime.
Inattentive, hyperactive, combined ADHD, AuDHD, 2e and other neurodivergent profiles.
2
What is inattentive ADHD and why is it diagnosed so late?
Inattentive ADHD isn't low motivation. It's executive dysfunction, internal mental hyperactivity, and dysregulated dopamine and norepinephrine.
3
Masked ADHD: when you look functional but you're exhausted
You look like you have it together while running on empty. Masked ADHD is real, more common in women, and it carries a brutal hidden cost.
4
What is AuDHD?
AuDHD is ADHD and autism in the same person. The overlap is huge, the neurobiology is shared, and the contradictory needs make it hard to diagnose.
5
What does it mean to be twice-exceptional (2e) with ADHD?
Twice-exceptional means gifted and ADHD at once. High IQ masks the diagnosis for years, papers over executive deficits, and sets up a brutal burnout.
6
What is SCT (Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome)?
SCT is mental fog, slow processing and disengagement, not inattentive ADHD. Barkley's research on a real condition the DSM-5 still ignores.

ADHD and autism: What they share and how they differ
