Camouflaging in ADHD: the need for construct validation before clinical adoption
1School of Human and Health Sciences, https://ror.org/05t1h8f27University of Huddersfield, UK.
Abstract:
This editorial argues that camouflaging, as developed in autism research, does not transfer coherently to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The executive functions required for sustained symptom concealment are precisely those impaired in ADHD. Current measures lack ADHD-specific validity, and compensatory behaviours should not be reclassified as camouflaging without dedicated theory, operational definitions and validated measurement.
