ADHD, autism or complex trauma? [pdf]

A research paper explores the relationship between ADHD, autism, and complex trauma, proposing that these conditions are not distinct entities but rather part of a complex spectrum. The study suggests that the diagnostic boundaries between these conditions are blurry and that trauma can be a key factor in the development of symptoms. The researchers argue that the current diagnostic criteria for ADHD and autism may be too narrow and that a more nuanced understanding is needed.
