AuDHD anyone?

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was younger, but I suspect I am on the autism spectrum as I’ve gotten older (now 31); my sister and I both have several symptoms, mannerisms, and obsessions. I find that it’s hard to receive the care I need in regards to getting diagnosed since Virginia tends to find it as something I would need behavioral therapy for 🙄 I learn life hacks on YouTube and through research and apply what feels right to my routines. I still struggle with masking, and to make that more complicated I have BPD and diagnosed with BPMD. I sometimes wonder if I really have BPMD because my behavioral roller coaster follows more of the ASD/ADHD path than Bipolar. It’s certainly a process, and a struggle, but one worth the work since all I want to be is myself.

i am diagnosed with both

Just diagnosed with ADHD this year, and I heavily suspect I’m also autistic. Not sure what to do with that suspicion though, still wondering if it’s worth pursuing a diagnosis 🤔

I have a adhd diagnosis but I suspect that I’m autistic as well. Did you get your both of your diagnosis at the same time?

My daughter is, she is 12. Do you any insight you can share?
