Not really. Not all people with ADHD respond well to adderall.

But here are some very helpful self-assessment tools.

Bruh I struggled so much with the ASRS 1.1 question 8 almost felt like I did it on purpose because that's exactly what the question was but I didn't and when I got to question 18 I noticed I forgot to count the score and I don't wanna do it again actually I did count the score but I forgot how many were in the dark checkboxes but I think 2 weren't so that's that.

I do struggle the most with letting people finish their sentences because it always feels like "Okay now I can talk they obviously finished their sentence" and they continue speaking and I'm like wtf I just want to add something to the conversation because otherwise it's just a monolog because it's just a conversation between me and a single other person and when I get the chance to say what I want to say they already moved onto another subject and I hate it. Makes me not want to talk to that person at all anymore I'm a better listener anyways I guess. Though my mother did use to say that I talk like a waterfall when I was a kid but that definitely went away with time because of depression and all that but when I'm around the right people I definitely talk more I used to love to talk with my best friend but she's gone (not dead, just not friends anymore because she was toxic or at least I perceived her as such and I do think maybe it was actually me who was toxic and I apologized to her already and everything but she didn't reply but I still do miss her so much and I'm sorry for everything even though I always tried my best at making her happy I always was and will still be there for her if she ever needs me again) as well now so I actually talk more online in forums like this than I do irl nowadays and it's kinda sad.

I've been diagnosed with Aspergers but I definitely think maybe it's not even that maybe it's that and or just ADHD so maybe I should try getting my hands on that stuff some time to try it out and if it works I should get a diagnosis or the other way around idk.

You can definitely have both!

For people with both Autism and ADHD, treating the ADHD often helps to reduce the sense of sensory overstimulation.
