I think that trauma comes from sensitivity. For me, the whole process of growing up was traumatic because I could see through all the holes. I could see what was going on on a deeper level and it was horrifying. I saw the indoctrination before I even knew that word. I saw the inconsistencies and I was being forced to play along. Like imagine telling your classmates and teachers and parents the sky is blue for your whole life and the whole time they say you are crazy because "the sky is green" and they medicate you and for a few years you pretend to the sky is green but it hurts so bad to have been broken like that......

I know not everyone with ADD has that experience but I believe many do. I really believe it's unfocused sensitivity and it's unfocused because it's generally not allowed to focus on anything but what the teachers and parents say.
