I have both. In fact, half of like all ASD people have ADHD. ADHD also displays a lot of similar traits with ASD which is why its often called ‘Diet Autism’ or saying that its on the spectrum. Maybe you should educate yourself before you try and white knight for it by claiming that a disability isn’t one, yea?
