K Fardell @fardellk.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Yes, if a child is always quiet, worry, but that isn't the criteria. The DSM isn't saying a child should always be quiet. If a child is playing football, I would expect them to be loud. If they're drawing, quiet (which, quiet ≠ silent) I find this whole documentary offensive to my entire being 000
