Every single post I see is slowly convincing me I might have ADHD, then again it could just be me or my autism.
Executive functioning problems happen in both autism and ADHD, so it could be autism related or ADHD related.
At one point I asked my therapist, how can you tell if something is related to ADHD or autism if you're diagnosed with both or suspect both? And she was basically like 'there's not really a way to tell and it comes down to subjective judgements.'
🤷♂️ I'm more of a practical person. If ADHD coping techniques or medication help you, does it matter which it technically is?
Good point, it looks like a pain going through the NHS to get a diagnosis anyway so I will just keep on going as I am now
