My limited understanding of this whole diagnostic malarkey was that, strictly speaking, a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome overrode any previous diagnosis of ADHD. That said, I think the DSM is far from infallible otherwise why would we be on version 5?
My child psycologist had me down as ADHD with dyspraxia and dyslexia although my parents fought against it knowing it didnt quite fit and there was something more going on. In the end he effectively conceeded for the sake of argument saying that I had [my-surname] syndrome, simply because he didnt have any better way to classify me (and I suspect, because he was tired of my mother's arguing).
As someone who works in software development, I moved from a job a year ago where I had freedom to build stuff I wanted, in the way I wanted, at the pace I wanted, which saved the company a serious ammount of money on a number of fronts, to a 'promotion' into a role where I have projects assigned to me where I have to spend most of my time worrying about design templates and methadologies for projects which are carefully precribed. Perfectly sensible, im sure, but not the best way to spend my time if you ask me. Arrogant as it sounds, I have my own ideas and, were I allowed to persue them more freely, I would save the company a hell of a lot more capitol.
