ADHD Personalities | ADHD Information
My ds is similar to your son in the ways you described. I think it was during middle school that he showed that indeed he did feel things more deeply, but for the most part, not so. Never really nursed a grudge or sulk...too busy enjoying life to be bothered. He is still this way.
My daughter who is 7 & was just diagnosed with ADHD this week, also doesn't exhibit some of things that we read/hear about. My daughter also does not have emotional outburst. She also does not really show aggression (just a little once in a while). In general my daughter is very sweet natured.It would make sense that there is no one type of personality for a child with ADHD, but I've noticed that my son doesn't exhibit some of the things I read/hear about. For instance, my son doesn't have emotional outbursts or oversensitivity. In fact, he is the opposite. Since a very early age, small hurts are water off a ducks back for him. He doesn't nurse a grudge for more than a few minutes, doesn't tend to sulk and can be very easily distracted when he is upset about something. In fact, I would almost say he seems not to feel things too deeply. Does anyone else have an ADHD child with this characteristic?
