    Sometimes I wonder how much this is a symptom of AuDHD specifically. ADHD people cannot hold “The Thought” but often just go with the flow anyway and it’s not as important. ASD peeps can hold “The thought” and feel the pressure to express it. AuDHD people simultaneously cannot hold it and feel the pressure to express it.

      The list of symptoms is really long for both autism and adhd and there’s significant overlap. The same goes for identified genetic risk factors (if there wasn’t I would definitely assume the genetics work was wrong). Trying to separate the two into clearly distinct categories is a good game in my view.
