A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.
Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.

I'm a sex addict Aspie.
High five!
I don't think I've ever heard that Aspies or Autists are asexual. My experience has been that Aspies are very sexual since we don't have the normal social controls that normies do. I, a mid-50s man, was working a booth at AtlSecCon a couple of years ago and a young woman student walked up and started asking questions. I answered them and at some point the fact that I was an Aspie came up. She said, "I am too! What kind of Aspie are you?" I said that I was a sexy engineer Aspie. She replied that she was a sexy creative Aspie and asked me what I was doing later. The girl was probably 19. I told her that I was having dinner with my account executive and meeting an old friend.
I've also found that explaining what my being an Aspie means to normies makes things easier. Every now and then you run into one who understands and decides to take advantage of the opportunity which is awesome.
