How many people here have AS and ADHD?

AS and ADD here, along with a laundry list of other things. It makes for an interesting day when I run out of coffee.

I have ADD. I was suspected of having ADHD in late elementary school because I was hyper and impulsive. I was never diagnosed with it, only ADD.

I have both AS and ADD. I'm on Adderall for the ADD. I was diagnosed as AS but later learned about the ADD.

I only have AS

A lot of the time my ADD is worse than my aspergers.

ADD, aspergers and Depression are my main problems.

I think I'm ADD and AS

I had a full psych evaluation recently, so I have a nice, neat, and up-to-date list of diagnoses. Go me! The paper tells me I have Asperger's, ADHD (primarily inattentive type), Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder, Recurrent. Of course, it also refers to me by the wrong name at one point, so make what you will of that.

NLD and ADD. I take medication for the ADD.

I have both AS and ADD. I take Strattera for the ADD.

how does strattera work out for you?

I was first diagnosed with ADHD when I was five or six before anyone knew waht AS was. Then it was chanded to AS when I was seven or eight. I once saw a book in a homeschooling catolog called "The ADHD/Autism Connection" so maybe they think ADHD is on the spectrum or something. I think it's pretty common for older AS people to have first been diagnosed with ADHD before they were diagnosed with AS.

it would make sense....from having spent many years on various ADD message boards...i can say that there are def. alot over there with AS symptoms....many of whom are unaware...

I have ADD and AS
