I have 8 of the inattention and 3 of the hyperactivity symptoms. Very interesting.

In theory, yes. In practice, many (most?) psychiatrists diagnose ADHD even if AS is present.




i was diagnosed with both, while being tested for ADHD

i know the adderall has helped a ton, although im still as awkward as you can be. i also fudge up a lot still (last night i was so consumed with the urge to pee i barged right into the men's room at target and didnt even realize what i did until the door closed behind me)
i think i need a higher dosage but my doctor isnt so convinced.
