Some Theorize ADHD and AS are both on the ASD

No it's not. OR so i think. I have ADHD. it's not so bad. lol. it's actually cool, you have a hell load of energy.

not me.
i have ADD and usually have a very difficult time focusing my energy.
I feel frequently drained due to overstimulus.

"Loads of energy" is a currency, it can be good or bad.

All of the ADD/ADHDers I have known IRL have been totally unfocused and big talkers. Big plans and no action, but they've got "loads of energy". They usually spent their time fidgeting, talking out and to themselves and getting really excited.
I did know a guy who could focus for hours and work really hard, but he couldn't control how he came across (he was rough). He was unreliable too.

I'm not making any declarations about all ADHD or generalizing, I'm just describing the ADHD people I've met in the past 15 years in two different places.

There are definitely similarities but it depends very much on the person and type of ADHD. Some cases overlap with AS or other ASDs to a huge degree while others, not so much.

I think it also has something to do with which part of the brain a person tends to use more. Some people say that most of those with ADHD are very brain-dominant people and that Aspies are left-brainers, so they can seem like very different disorders even though they can have so many similarities.

This is all just speculation though, and not fact. I see more and more theories here stating otherwise and evidence that many Aspies who are right brain dominant fly under the radar because they may present traits and behaviors that seem more like ADHD but in fact fit all of the criteria for AS.

If someone with ADHD is left brain dominant they may think more like an Aspie but may still have enough traits of ADHD to fit that label more precisely, or fit both an ADHD and AS diagnosis. It depends very much on the person, I think that this is my situation, I always score as left brain-dominant on all tests but I appear more like a right-brain dominant person for whatever reason. I'm not necessarily all that creative, I just have a lot of ideas, and present behaviors that look more like ADHD most of the time.

I think there's a gray area that really doesn't fit any of the labels entirely.

I don't know what I have exactly, the more I study, the more I confuse myself, but my problems seem to fall into two categories, mood disorder/schizophrenia type symptoms and ADHD/Asperger's type symptoms.

I take meds for the first group of symptoms (mood/psychosis) and they work fine, but when I study the DSM for the disorders in that group, they don't fit very well for any one disorder.

But with those meds, the mood/psychosis symptoms mostly go away, but the ADHD/Asperger's symptoms remain. And looking at the DSM, I might not quite fit either one. I can read facial expressions better than an aspie and I can focus better than an ADDer, but I have serious social, organization, hyperfocus/obsession, etc problems.

I'm not saying ADHD and Asperger's are the same, it's just that I have a confusing set of symptoms.
