Quick question: does anyone here have the experience of having both ADHD and Autism and having some of the traits (/symptoms) ‘cancel’ each other so it’s harder to detect by doctors or family and such? For example, if hyperactivity is expressed by excessive talking about this-and-that, it ‘cancels’ the (sometimes stereotypical) Autistic trait of the struggle with verbality? Or, needing routines and sameness that collides with the struggle to maintain anything organized, that eventually turns out as being really messy and suffering because of that?
If you have any additional examples, feel free to add your experience!!!
