Its entirely possible for a ND to live with no notable issues or disadvantages which negates the need for a label or diagnosis but if your daughter does have one the chance is high for their to be neurodivergent genes all around you in your family gene-pool.
It’s not that they live with no notable issues or disadvantages, it’s that they have made the coping mechanisms to deal with them. And medicating can disrupt those.
Oh definitely. There is also other neurodivergence in the family, notably my father and brother, so I am not surprised about it or anything. I don’t think I fit the diagnosis, although I definitely have some symptoms. I am probably neurodivergent myself, but none of the evaluation I was given as a child showed I actually tipped the scales. Of course, that was the 80s and I’m sure they have better diagnostics now.
Something something genetics, something something neurodivergent overlap.

It’s a fine balance.
