No, because not all autists have adhd. (stated neutrally)
I’m getting frustrated at all these ADHD posts. I know it’s a comorbidity with autism, but I don’t have it, not all autistic people do, so it shouldn’t be in !autism@lemmy.world when there is !adhd@lemmy.world.
Having ADHD and (allegedly) not being autistic, I agree.
It’s a symptom of the category of people who don’t have access to or are unwilling to talk to a medical professional so they just collect diagnoses for themselves based off of relatable internet memes and make it their identity, reality and science be damned.
It’s very hard to keep these people out of online neurodivergent communities because initially an uneducated person who still needs to learn about themselves and their condition with the help of medical professionals is indistinguishable from a self-diagnosis trading card collector, and you don’t want to discourage people who are actually here to learn but are just scared.
Indeed.
It also muddled up the whole picture since there’s more than enough to talk about with ‘just’ autism.
(ask me, I’ve read a few well researched books by now and I can relate to almost all of the content)
Having moderate ADHD is kind of a fun existence up until the moment you gotta meet deadlines, lol.
