Is there such a thing as having âsymptoms of ADHD,â having some family members diagnosed with it, but others not âhavingâ it even though presenting similar symptoms, but perhaps not at the same intensity?

Yes a lot of neurodivergent people have issues with Executive Function! Iâd say that if family members have ADHD, you probably do have it. It presents differently for everyone! I struggle with the motivation side of ADHD, whereas some of my ADHD peers have decent motivation, but struggle more with hyperactivity and restlessness. Itâs always a safe bet to get tested so you can get the help you need if it turns out you do have it. :)

Remember that itâs not just a list of symptoms but also frequency, intensity and disruption to life. I hope that helps - I know it helped me when I first read the idea as a way to combat the âeveryone does thatâ thing everyone says to ADHDers. Yes - everyone loses track of time sometimes, but an ADHD person might do it daily or even when they are purposely trying not to. Itâs not a box to check so much as a scale - how often, how bad, what happens, etc.
I think so, they may not have been tested and be masking. If tested and not diagnosed, could have an alternative diagnosis or have traces of it in less intensity and not every necessary symptom. Traces of it since it is genetic but not a clinically relevant deficit in multiple areas of life. I am not a health professional, just googled the same stuff. In autism it is being researched as Broader Autism Phenotype, considering parents or family members that don't fit the diagnosis but have some of the symptoms in less intensity.
If people in your family, donât have ADHD they either donât have it or they just havenât been tested. I donât wanna get tested. A lot of stuff is combed so they may have some overlapping things going on ďżź
Ah, canât see your comment in hopes of it appearing if I add one of my ownâŚ
Yes, adhd is only diagnosed if the person thinks he is bothered by the symptoms. So yes. If he dont feel bothered.. he does not get the label.
