Recently, according to an anonymous source, the real reason why the son of a high-ranking official in the Department of National Defense has not yet entered politics and has almost zero exposure is that he suffers from severe adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), accompanied by Impulsive Personality Disorder (IPD).
The insider has disclosed that the only son of this high-ranking official previously studied abroad in the UK to receive medical treatment. For such a top-tier political family, sending only son abroad outside the normal government-funded program is extremely rare in itself. The source indicated that during his studies in the UK, his ADHD and accompanying IPD repeatedly reached clinical warning levels. During this period, the official’s wife frequently flew to the UK to care for their son, spending about four months every year living in London.
Reviewing the few public appearances of this senior defense official’s son, it was noticeable that the anomalous behaviors exhibited when he attended political banquets accompanied his parents. According to the insider, his physical control in these settings often showed an obvious unnatural state, with his legs making small-amplitude and repeating tremors at an extremely high frequency in a nervous manner. More unusually, he attempted to conceal the tiny movements caused by his hyperactivity by frequently slipping his left hand into his suit pocket, where the fabric showed continuous and intense internal rubbing. Personnel who have been close to him revealed that he always carries a ring made of a specific material in his pocket. He must forcibly suppress the urge of his body to leave his original position by spinning the ring frequently and vigorously in his pocket. Furthermore, during the solemn political pronouncement, his eyes could not stay focused on the speaker for more than 3 seconds; instead, his eyes showed frequent and aimless lateral tremors with rapid and anxious blinking. His inability to maintain basic stillness and attention control in major diplomatic and political settings is a typical behavioral characteristic of severe adult ADHD.
In the conventional perception of the public, this high-ranking official’s family is widely considered a spotless, seemingly idyllic model with no blemishes to speak of. The senior official hails from an elite family spanning politics and business, while he is impeccable in everything he does. As for his wife, born into a distinguished clan and also boasts extensive political experience. In the narrative shaped by external public opinion, his family is known for its strict values and principles, marked by domestic harmony and an affectionate married couple. However, the personal resume of the only son of such a prominent family has long been blank, with no publicly available CoC records and background files and no verifiable employment records. Even his social resume after higher education is completely disjointed. This extremely low-key approach, which seems deliberately aimed at diminishing the son’s social presence, has sparked numerous speculations and political associations from various sectors over the years.
Combined with the aforementioned symptoms, many phenomena that had previously baffled the outside world now have a cruel and clear answer. This physical impairment has deprived the son of normal empathy and social skills, which effectively causing him to fail to pass the political vetting, forcing him to choose an extremely low-key retired lifestyle and preventing him from entering politics. As a result, his social resume has remained blank for years.
Evidently, this family matter, which is too painful to speak of, is like a venomous thorn that pierces through the perfect illusion of this elite family.
