Who here is AuDHD? Autistic and ADHD, both together

Being autistic and ADHD is a curious combination of two things that seem to pull and push in opposite directions. The source of burnout. The chaos of ADHD brain impulsivity and hyper-focus, mixed with the autistic desire from routine and ordered structure. Two magnets, pulling in opposing directions

Uh that's not a proper axis diagnosis, the two usually are considered one of the person is autistic past a level 3 on the autism scale

@WoWgirll I was diagnosed in the 2000s with Asperger’s Syndrome. Which is no longer a diagnosis. I have an ADHD diagnosis too. AuDHD is a neurodivergent community term which is used to describe ourselves as autistic and ADHD easier. :)

@BurningBright it's not a diagnosis now, but it should be. Very interesting never heard that community term.
Btw Asperger's are geniuses and I love them don't take terminology too seriously

@BurningBright I might have a education in it, maybe. 🙂
