I've been diagnosed with both, so I guess you can have both?

I am diagnosed with both.

I believe the two can coexist. I think based on the links btbnnyr provided earlier that maybe the two together represents a particular subset of "autism phenotypes" maybe.

At the very least it gave me a satisfactory answer to something that neither separately or together could really answer (what is up with my brain?).
