Aspergers and ADHD

Post Reply New Topic

Im guessing this topic has mightve been brought up before. It sorta struck my curiosity last night when I was talking with a person about our disorders. I of course had Aspergers and he had ADD. Then he said I might have bits of ADHD because I figit a lot. Im personally very sure I have nothing in the spectrum of ADD and ADHD because I dont have problems concentrating. I told him it might be because of Aspergers. Cause I have noticed I cant stay physically in one place for too long. I always need to get up and walk around. Im a bit confused because Ive heard that Aspergers and ADHD are related.

I've been diagnosed with AS and my brother has been diagnosed with ADHD.

I am formally diagnosed with ADD/HD, not AS.

While I have found I fit some of the things people here relate to AS, I do not think I have AS.
In fact, someone I know whom I believe to have AS once thought me an NT.
I'm not real keen on all these terms anyway, so I don't care what fits as long as I have a way to express how my mind works so others can understand there is something different about me... or something different about them (from my perspective)

I think you'll find some folks here talking about the variations between people who have AS. If it is a spectrum, then you might fit anywhere along it but still fall under the umbrella of the term.
Same with ADD/HD.
