minus-squareKayel@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-221 天前Correct me if I’m wrong, but the DSM5 requires struggling in school (well struggle during a young schooling age). That said, those with many characteristics, me, benefit from understanding why certain things are more difficult and adopting ADHD coping techniques.

minus-squareJanklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·28 天前As I understand it, being married to a therapist, you must meet a certain number of criteria, not any one specific criteria.
minus-squareKayel@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·21 天前Yes, but all criteria would cause issues in school. Additionally symptoms must occur in multiple environments. The chances of someone meeting the criteria without struggling in school are very low. I’ve linked the dsm5 in my comment now, it explains it better (imagine that, haha)
