A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.
Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.
Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.
In regards to medication and medical advice: Please take under consideration that this is only an online support community. Offered advice is always an expression of individual opinions or experiences and shall never be taken as substitute for a professional in-person assessment!
This is a SFW community. Sensitive topics are allowed, but must be properly labeled.

You categorized neurotypical people as more likely to categorize people. Pretty funny, is all.
I have a similar experience to stingpie. When I meet someone new, they're a completely unique person to me. It just doesn't cross my mind to take experiences with other people and apply them to this new person. If you ask me to consciously think about it and put a hypothetical someone in a bucket, then I can tell you that given two people with traits x and y, which one is more likely to fall into a particular bucket. But if I meet this hypothetical person, I'm not going to act as if you belong in that bucket. That's not something that comes naturally. I'm guessing this is also what stingpie is trying to express.
Sure, but at the same time, they were putting a large group of people in one bucket. Hence the irony.
Just because they believe neurodivergent people to be less likely to categorise does not mean neurodivergent people don't do it. What's so funny?
They were seemingly acting with predijuce while saying they are against it. Just ironic, not malicious or anything, surely.
