It's well documented that as individuals age the hyperactivity and impulsiveness wanes somewhat, though the amount varies from person to person. I could definitely see things like TikTok exacerbating symptoms though. I dunno that I would call technology imposed behavioral changes ADHD, especially since ADHD is a shit name anyway. Maybe calling it something like self-inflicted ADHD rather than type 1 and type 2 lol

Besides, we already have 3 'types' to begin with: hyperactive, inattentive, and combined type.

Would you happen to have a link to that article? I'd love to check it out

Don’t tell my boss how much time I spent on this. The three types really messes up the search results.

I would be super grateful to read article about 3 types you mention at the end of your comment

Here's one that looks pretty thorough in covering it. I only quickly skimmed through it though.
