ADHD vs Autism-some key differences (unless you have both!)

I found this interesting....found it this morning while sippin coffee. I sometimes don't like these videos out of OVER-SIMPLIFICATION....but here it is. If you're terrible at finishing videos & just want the "cliff's notes"-Check out the line graph at the end.

  • Thanks for showing this one. I like Paul's videos and hadn't seen this one before.

    Paul, here, lists 'attention' as a primary feature. I've tended to find a fair few other differences in ADHD and the Aspie kind of autism. Impulse control is one where ADHD folks are known to often struggle much more than usual, whereas the Aspies I've personally known have seemed to think that impulse control 'comes as standard'. I've also tended to personally notice that the Aspies I know are really good with knowing systems inside out, whereas the ADHD folks I know are really great at seemingly knowing emotions inside out.
