Whats emotional mirroring?
Empathy
Empathy is a sign of adhd?
No. It's actually got more to do with regulating your emotions. It's more like unchecked empathy
No
When empathy goes unchecked, and their feelings become your feelings. Instead of just understanding them, you become overtaken my their emotions. Those without this symptom still feel the empathy, but it doesn't take over their emotions.
This is a sign of adhd?
Of a specific form, according to my doctor, not all forms. It's important to get assessed by a proper doctor, if you suspect to have it. Having some or even all of the symptoms can be ADHD, but it can be other things, too. I'm not a doctor, and neither is Lemmy.
