Another way in which I can relate to ADHD although my neurodivergence is PTSD. So many apparently overlapping symptoms I thought I had ADHD for a while.

The thing that makes me understand it's trauma is that the dire need to please people, the hypersensitivity, and the way I freeze when I should be getting stuff done or going to bed, are all because my my brain was wired over several years of childhood to say I am in danger.

My brother does have ADHD and we're eachothers best allies because we each have this thing that's sort of shared but also completely different.

As it should be.
