I got the diagnose of autism but I don’t know if I’m ADHD. But now I’m kind of worried because I see this relation pretty often, it feels like you must have ADHD if you have autism.

How do you know you have ADHD (except consulting a doctor)?

    In that case I’d recommend just reading up on ADHD and the various coping strategies and techniques that one can use. If those seem to help, or you identify with people describing their experience of ADHD, then it may be worthwhile pursuing a diagnosis.

      Agreed.

      In addition, be sure to take a wide sample of ADHD symptoms from what you research.

      It is such a broad condition that manifests quite differently in many people.

      It might help narrow it down a little by looking at AuDHD specifically. The Autism + ADHD mix.
