   @theautisticcoach@neurodifferent.me @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe That it's impossible to have both autism and ADHD.

     @183231bcb @theautisticcoach People believe that??

     When I first heard about autism half a life ago ("Asperger" back then, now that's retired for multiple good reasons), it was from a friend who joked "I may seem like everyone else, but that's just because my Asperger often cancels out my ADHD".

     That's not how it usually works, and probably didn't even for him, but it was a funny joke and it did provide the spark that started me looking up more about these terms.

     @clacke@libranet.de @theautisticcoach@neurodifferent.me For several years doctors kept telling me they couldn't diagnose me with ADHD even though I had all the symptoms because I was already diagnosed with Asperger's and you couldn't have both diagnoses.
     
     (I have since gotten an ADHD diagnosis.)
