So imagine when I saw a cheesy Facebook post about a supposed 2025 genetics study that modeled how the DNA signals for dyslexia relate to other conditions and found that dyslexia aligns most closely with ADHD on a shared, attention-and-learning genetic pattern. Whoa. Too good to be true? Not when it's believable and supports a framework I’ve worked to develop.

For many years, AuDHDers may have been misidentified as having bipolar disorder, meaning that studies of bipolar populations could actually be describing this experience. This raises critical questions about how much of the literature reflects autistic and dynamically attentive lived realities rather than distinct mood disorder trajectories.

Looking across the lifespan, hyperneuroplasticity emerges as a systemic orientation that permeates every stage of development, rather than a temporary trait to be gained or lost.
