Genuine question. Is this a trait of ADHD or a side effect? I guess what I’m asking is is the issue that the goals are there but I can’t focus on them and that makes me anxious or that there are goals and oh boy that’s just too much to handle? Or is this all just different positions on the autism spectrum?

I’m 99% sure my son is ADHD and I want to help him as much as I can (and get a diagnosis when the medical people have the time)

That sounds like one of the modes of ADHD.

There are different sub types of ADHD, and there is overlap with Autism in some symptoms. And to confuse you more there is AuDHD, which is a combination of the two neurodivergent conditions.

If you have that strong if a suspicion, yeah go get him tested.

Being diagnosed with being a minority is definately a great idea.

I think they may be referencing how an ND diagnosis in the States may soon get you sent to a camp or oppressed in some other fun way. It may unfortunately be safer to not seek help, and to mask as much as possible.
