Really interesting thoughts. I find it fascinating that RSD is something that those of us with ADHD can identify with strongly, yet it is completely missing from popular medicine. I think that what you say further down about ADHD one day being recognised as an executive function disorder is really insightful too.
Unlike other conditions, ADHD seems to mostly be described by how others experience us. RSD being missing and the diagnostic focus on how we appear in a schooling or work context is a facet of that perspective perhaps.
