https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactance_(psychology)
In psychology, reactance is an unpleasant motivational reaction to offers, persons, rules, regulations, advice, recommendations, information, nudges, and messages that are perceived to threaten or eliminate specific behavioral freedoms. Reactance occurs when an individual feels that an agent is attempting to limit one’s choice of response and/or range of alternatives.

Super interesting study, thanks for posting!
So glad someone else said it. People lumping normal behaviors into mental disorders and calling them personality traits is one of my biggest pet peeves of Lemmy.
I LITERALLY WAS DIAGNOSED WHEN I WAS EIGHT.
That doesn’t mean every normal feeling you develop is caused by your ADHD
I’m not American, and I was diagnosed when I was 8 years old… Like, sometimes people just HAVE that…
If you mean “Americans” as someone from the Americas, sure.
If you mean USians, the comment OP is not.
