I have been diagnosed with ADHD for about a year now, and I've been taking meds to manage it so I can do better in school.
But my father has autism and ADD, and a lot of his autism mannerisms are similar to things I do. So I was wondering if these two overlap and if they do how much. Cause if they do overlap than I probably don't have autism but if they don't overlap much than I might have it.
Some stuff me and my dad share: Lifelong hyperfixations, "Bad" texture avoidance, stimming/rocking, inappropriate emotions in high stress situations, only feeling normal when under the influence, and some others I cant think of right now.
I'm probably just looking into this too much but oh well.
