I'm not diagnosed but they all seem relevant.
I'm not diagnosed either (because somehow you can't have autism and ADHD at the same time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Whether or not I do have it, the improvements made to my life by taking advice for ADHD folks have been great.
That’s not true! That was old school dsm speak. I was also told this lie, but it is very possible to have both. And if you have autism, you’re more likely to have adhd (but not the other way around).
Yeah I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, because I've been having trouble getting a dual diagnosis while showing a lot of ADHD symptoms...like I said, maybe I don't have ADHD but it's really strange how everything I read about it has been so close to my personal experience.
I think there’s like a 50-70% chance that if you have autism , you also have adhd. So it’s very likely you have both, especially if you’re relating to the adhd symptoms.
I’ve noticed mine fight each other though. Like when I started treating my adhd, my autism symptoms were way more evident. But before that, my adhd symptoms were definitely more prevalent. So that made it harder for me to get both diagnoses at the same time too, and I ended up having to seek separate diagnoses from different doctors. And the adhd diagnosis was way easier to get than the autism one for me, so it may be worth seeking that one out!
Yeah, it's funny the way the two disorders clash. I'll give it a go seeking an ADHD diagnosis specifically. Thank you for the advice!
This is one of the form my dr asked me to complete. (Well the 61 question version, this ks the 25 ADHD questions) https://www.mdapp.co/wender-utah-adhd-rating-scale-calculator-182/#here
I'll give this a look through shortly, thank you!
