You might be right. I am not a native EN speaker, so that might play a role too.
My wife has severe ADHD. All our kids too (diagnosed and medicated). One of them is AuDHD, with a “harder” autism gradient (?) compared to me… She does have severe social interaction problems.
For me it’s been strange - I have CPTSD, growing up autistic in a household that would “pray the gay away”… not easy. I moved out as soon as I could. But I’ve lived all my life by heavily masking. I learned how to behave from TV shows and observing others. Social interactions have always been a “show” for me. Only after I got diagnosed it started to make sense…
