      But a huge amount of autists also have ADHD. And vice versa.

      Still, I agree this would better fit in an ADHD community. Because, those autists who have ADHD… Well, they have ADHD. And they can be reached in a community for ADHD people, not only here.

        Is it really that huge and diagnosed or just self estimated? US / global?

        I know some people come to autism via ADHD.

        Im just a bit picky since for me it’s absolutely not ADHD and mixing it up is harmful for treating/addressing the wrong thing even though the symptoms can have massive overlap.

        (we all 3 agree in conclusion anyway though that this should be in ADHD)
