A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.
Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.

While I am in no position to understand the paper, the possibility of AuDHD being a different pathology is exciting to me.
It makes a great point on why we should pursue a dual diagnosis instead of focusing only on one side of it, regardless if that is ADHD or ASD. It's a different problem and there is no guarantee that remedies for either pathology are going to help AuDHD people.
It's disappointing how little research there is on AuDHD, and hopefully findings like this are going to help us get more attention to our problems.
