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
ADHD and autism share genetics and neurobiology yet stay distinct. How to tell them apart, how often they overlap, and what it means for treatment.
