I've been reading Gabor Mate's book Scattered Minds, about ADHD, and have thought so many times how much ADHD has overlaps and resonances with any FP type.
Makes me wonder if these are all really different things, or the same thing. Mate's book is actually about ADD, not ADHD, if there's really any difference. And he attributes ADD to early childhood experiences that can be called traumatic. attachment and attunement inadequacies. Makes me wonder if folks in the Myers Briggs world have ever looked at these issues in relation to the types. inadequacies.

It's also frequently a misdiagnosis of trauma. If you look at the symptoms, the similarities are uncanny.

I would guess it's all the same or similar. It all depends which practitioner got to the person first to put a label to the experience.
