Autism and ADHD

Deleted User

Hi everyone

I’ve been off my meds for nearly a month now, for the first time since I had my autism diagnosis, and am in the process of getting to know myself again.

Part of that has been to revisit the possibility that I have ADHD, or more specifically ADD, as well. There are many symptoms common to both ADHD and autism though so it’s difficult to tease them apart.

I know there are quite a few AuDHD people on this forum though. So can any of you describe the difference in experience, symptoms and behaviours between “vanilla” autism and AuDHD?

  • Related to life in general but I think it affects our "sort" heavily - digital clutter as well as physical clutter. In my job, I have a lot of papers around. This is hard enough. As they are shuffled from one place to another. There's also the added joy of copious logins, passwords,  computer files and documents saved in various places. This is just in my job. It's getting more and more with life admin as well.  In this day and age it's a double whammy.
