Autism facts I did *not* know:
- The first person to ever be diagnosed autistic died *last year.*
- Autism and ADHD were considered fully mutually exclusive, in the DSM-5, until *2013*, and comorbidity rare for a while after.
- Research shows ~50-80% of Autistic folks show ADHD traits, and ~30-40% of ADHD folks show Autistic traits.
- The Monotropism questionnaire, which blows previous unified research and theories away, came out last summer.
