    Haha, yeah happens to me too a lot. But getting into details there is a lot to say!

    Yes indeed our symptoms overlap like 80-90%.however in some cases adhd can be treated with medicine somewhat (without judgement either way).

    Yeah the doctor game. I mean I mask all my life and for them I have to do it even more. Wtf that’s not helpful (not directed at you). I had doctors I overexplained as it seems and got treated worse for it (either they were annoyed or thought I was exaggerating). And then I had doctor’s who asked why I didn’t tell something sooner (well, because of the former experience?) and also the pain scale is way off.

    Like Spock, I tell them when it hurts like hell and they just don’t believe me until worse things happen.

    Where was I going? I don’t know 😁

    Ah yes one thing. I gave up getting diagnosed because I even unsuccessfully put some money in. You don’t get more than ‘severely disabled’ anyhow so nothing to win by this anyhow. It’s not like the world is suddenly more accommodating.

    Thank you for the insightful experience. As studies have shown it does go both ways and the opposing groups don’t have this issue within. It’s just that the neurodiverse group is smaller.

    Since I’m ‘on the mild end’ of the spectrum it’s also not full coverage here nor there, so to say.

    Edit: I wish that people like you with such understanding of the implications were in the medical field. That would help immensely. Aside from struggling to get a diagnosis for ‘being too normal’ often the challenges and pain is simply not understood and just shrugged off.
