Ive got ASD and now recently Joint ADHD

Kenny_1622

I got diagnosed with Autism on the 23/3/25 and now recently ive also been diagnosed with both ADHD types, (joint ADHD) on the 8/9/26. So now i have ASD and ADHD, apparently its not uncommon to have both but i thought i only matched up to the inatentive ADHD not the Hyper version, but i can see how they overlap. It means i can get medication now to make me focus more. 

Do i still qualify to use this site with both diagnosis?

Has anyone else on here got both?

Does having both affect your status more at work? 

If you have both how have you dealt witj it? And,

What experiences have you got with the medication ?

Thankyou

  • hi and welcome.Hugging

    You don't have to have a diagnosis to be on here, everyone is welcome no matter what. I have AuDHD, I was on a waiting list for medication, it had been nearly a year when I got to the top of the list and I had to have quite a big operation so I missed my chance but it would have been interesting to see if the meds helped with concentration.

    hope you settle in here soon and enjoy chatting with us.Blush
