I'm a little confused. ADD & ADHD started as children's issues, if I understand it. Adults had already developed beyond it (was where I thought it started). Then later it got combined into only "ADHD" and adults where recognized (not sure which was first). This article only speaks of children. Has it reverted back to children only? I got diagnosed, only a few years ago.

It does look like they are going the right direction. I year or more ago, I looked up my symptoms on the WHO list of diagnosis and most were on both the ADHD and the spectrum list. I don't believe I've ever had a thorough diagnosis, so I was trying to understand better where I might fit. All I ended up with is that there were a lot of symptoms that border lined.

It felt like it was a bit under defined, like IBS (which I was falsely diagnosed with once) because they just didn't know another one that fit. Anyway, I would love more understanding. The "beyond" is common in people I've spoken with, so is the emotional dysregulation...
