Aw, okay. Thanks for answering. It’s amazing how often the symptoms for ADHD and autism are interchangeable. I’ve always just hated myself and all my autistic traits so I assumed all these quirks were just present because that’s who I am. It’s interesting to find out how many of them come from something I have no control over. There’s also a lot of overlap between ADHD/autism and asexuality, and asexual people tend to take long showers because of the warmth we’re not getting through physical contact.

    You are right, there is a ton of overlap. It’s mind-boggling to me that before 2013 in the U.S. you couldn’t even diagnose ADHD and autism together - they would rule each other out. Now we know better.
