the opposite of what my doctor told me when i sought a diagnosis initially he said that i was just autistic and the difference is that people with adhd struggle focussing attention because they keep jumping from one thing to another whereas autistic people struggle focussing attention because they take in everything at once he insisted i was the second one whereas i insisted i was more the first plus sometimes it’s like my brain just unplugs and it’s like for that period i actually can’t pay attention to anything then my brain slowly reconnects my brain “disconnects” way less when i take my adhd meds so anyway i’m now diagnosed with inattentive adhd in addition to being autistic which i definitely am as well adhd is a spectrum   i think someone mentioned to me once the reason my experiences are often the opposite of others on this sub with adhd is because i have the inattentive type and the sluggish cognitive tempo sct traits whereas most people here have combined or hyperactiveimpulsive type so different experiences from me
