How trauma may develop in bright and quirky kids

Adults with ADHD often experience trauma, stemming from feeling unseen or unheard in various settings like school and work. Their behaviors, considered normal, may be viewed as outliers in structured environments, leading to embarrassment. Understanding unique brain wiring and creating positive environments can help individuals with ADHD thrive. Trauma can result in negative coping mechanisms like alcohol abuse, but individuals can overcome this through positive traits and pursuing talents. The body's surveillance system, neuroception, can contribute to trauma by misinterpreting threats, impacting social interactions.
