    Something something genetics, something something neurodivergent overlap.

    Its entirely possible for a ND to live with no notable issues or disadvantages which negates the need for a label or diagnosis but if your daughter does have one the chance is high for their to be neurodivergent genes all around you in your family gene-pool.

      It’s not that they live with no notable issues or disadvantages, it’s that they have made the coping mechanisms to deal with them. And medicating can disrupt those.

      It’s a fine balance.

      Oh definitely. There is also other neurodivergence in the family, notably my father and brother, so I am not surprised about it or anything. I don’t think I fit the diagnosis, although I definitely have some symptoms. I am probably neurodivergent myself, but none of the evaluation I was given as a child showed I actually tipped the scales. Of course, that was the 80s and I’m sure they have better diagnostics now.
