    I thought the current understanding is, that there is not the ADHD, but that it is a range of different symptoms and problems.

      Yep… which is the challenge. The only word we have is ADHD, but really it’s so much more complex.

          Considering everything we know about it now, it should really be called Executive Function Disorder. Calling it Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder really does a disservice to those that have it.

          Also, ADHD, Autism, and BPD all share symptoms and can be difficult to differentiate.
