Now, aside from what I have already posted, one of the things that I have learned is that while there are so many labels that have been developed that have different behavior patterns, there can actually be reasons in an individual that can develop into these individuals presenting these behavior problems.

For example, my husband has dyslexia and ADHD, so to begin with his brain is set up in such a way that his ability to learn is "different", this is not about lack of intelligence, instead it is simply a way we have identified individuals who's brains are set up that have areas that are weaker, yet may have areas that are stronger than average. I did not know about my husband's ADHD until about a year ago where my therapist upon spending time with him had noticed the clear red flags that my husband presented that most definitely exhibit him struggling with ADHD. So FINALLY, I had that explained to me and FINALLY there was most definitely a reason for the way I was constantly being challenged, had made efforts to reach out for help with, yet, failed to get the help I needed that would have most definitely improved my ability to deal with the many challenges that were presented to me over the 36 years I have been married to this man. Also, I can say that some of how my husband behaves can also be behaviors that are described in "narcissistic behavior patterns".

The truth is that people can be unique, be born with challenges that if not understood and directed properly, can evolve into that individual developing unhealthy behavior problems. My daughter inherited the dyslexia, not sure about the ADHD. So, there are behaviors in my daughter that are similar to my husband. I was lucky that I was able to have my daughter diagnosed and I was able to learn about her challenges so I could help her and support her while she was growing and learning. I do have to keep in mind however that when I am interacting with her that I can't get too long winded. My brain is very different in that I am a deep thinker and can lose the attention of others that simply don't have the ability to think as deeply and expand on one topic as I can.

With my husband that has ADHD, often his behavior is to talk over me, interupt me, cut me off and not let me finish what I am trying to say. It's VERY challenging living with someone who is like that. Actually, his behavior patterns can be VERY intrusive and he tends to TAKE OVER and invade as needing to have something happen "his way". He is so bad that if I am driving the car and he is a passenger, he calls out every turn, stop light, stop sign, step on the brake to the point where I just want to scream "shut up already". Honestly, often when I come across someone who triggers me? It typically results in discovering that individual has ADHD. And, as I have already mentioned, the PTSD only gave reason to believe that other individual is "right" when that individual was actually "wrong".

So, that being said, IMHO, there is more involved when it comes to labels. I believe that eventually, that will be more recognized.
