Could we have ADHD rather than Asperger's? Are we Neurodivergent?

Post by Winston »

Is it possible that I and many of you have ADHD rather than Asperger's? They overlap in some ways but there are major differences between them too. See below. A lot of the traits of ADHD fit me more it seems. For example it says ADHD people have a wide variety of interests, too many, and get distracted easily, and seek out social contact for stimulation too and so are not introverted. They also have trouble focusing on something they're not interested in.

Here is a good explanation of what ADHD is by a doctor. Does this fit any of you too? I would say half or more of this fits me.



Regardless, I and many of you are definitely not wired like normies are, so we are Neurodivergent, not Neurotypical. That much is certain. If so, does that explain why society in the US rejects us and ostracizes us and made us misfits? Since the 1980s I've felt an invisible barrier between me and my peers, kind of like how dogs and cats have a barrier between them and are not meant to connect. It's definitely real.

I paid for a partial diagnosis back in 2020. The clinical psychologist reckoned I was mostly Aspergers with some ADHD. I have anxiety too. They're all quite similar.

All my life I've wanted to fit in. It's rare when it actually happens, then it usually all goes wrong...
