*Edit: I checked some of the stuff more out in detail. While some concepts on this are valid and backed up by sience, others like RSD are not. Use this as a springboard for learning, not as a valid source in itself. Yes it says so in the corner already. But spelling it out might help.

People are more complicated then a diagram from the internet. Never forget that.

    What I find interesting about this graphic is that many traits that don’t overlap should:

    • Autism and ADHD both need routine, the former by nature, and the latter to nurture better outcomes

    • Motor skills crossover in gifted kids and autism

    • People with autism famously do NOT NOTICE details, so it’s strange to see that highlighted

    • I think easily bored can fit in all 3 shared traits

    • Hyper-focus is a crossover for Autism and ADHD

    Since ADHD and Autism literally crossover commonly in the same human being, I’d think there would be more shared traits than is listed above
