When people think of autism now they don’t think of the “non-functioning” side, they think of the high functioning side. Yes, high-functioning Autism sucks still, but it could be much, much worse.
ADHD rarely makes anyone “non-functional” it does make people barely-functional. Thus, no one cares. As you’re doing “okay” usually.
