    I love how at the time if me answering there are exactly two replies one telling OP that their statement about ADHD is inaccurate and one telling OP that their statement about autism is inaccurate.

      Canned psychologist answer to any absolute statement about ADHD or ASD: “it depends” and “sometimes but not always”.

        No.

        The problem is that the more obvious autists are those who everyone bases their knowledge on while the less obvious ones, that are like me do not in any way have the same needs.

        This stereotype is what makes life shit for people like me. Because people make assumptions about them that are directly opposed to what their actual needs are.

        And I’d say that most autistics that function on a level where they can live on their own, get married and work are more like me than the classic view of autism.

        As the classic view of autism is expressly based on the easily detectable cases that can’t even take care of themselves.
