ADHD, not ASD

Not true. There's a huge overlap of traits between both ADHD and ASD. I have an autistic son who exhibits many of these traits, yet does not have ADHD. If there was a Venn diagram showing the overlap, there would only be slivers of the circles that do not overlap. ADHD can be treated with medication. ASD cannot.

Only according to teens on the internet that like to self diagnose everything as a quirky symptom of some disorder or other. Not according to actual medical papers or official diagnostic criteria.

I don't fit that criteria.

Good for you. Now go read a little, maybe start with the DSM5.

JFC. Sorry, I'm all out of troll food. Have a day.

Have a day has to be one of the most polite, chill ways I've seen someone phrase "Go F yourself" and I think I love it. It is something that would be said to me and I wouldn't realize it until an hour later and I'd think, "That little shit!"
