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.

Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.

In regards to medication and medical advice: Please take under consideration that this is only an online support community. Offered advice is always an expression of individual opinions or experiences and shall never be taken as substitute for a professional in-person assessment!

This is a SFW community. Sensitive topics are allowed, but must be properly labeled.

I also press F, but for grading the author, not as a sign of respect.

It doesn't exactly inspire confidence into the reliability of expert assessments, when this is the kind of textbook used to train them.

Pay special attention to the last statement before the question - "He is doing well in school and has a girlfriend who is also a medical student." This sentence is there to tell you that the student in question does not have a disorder; his life is going fine. Answers A, B, D, and E are all disorders, and answer C is "traits", not a disorder. Ergo, the correct answer is C.

While that is the best fit for the characteristics, it can’t be the correct answer. The question asked for a disorder and therefore any non-disorder answer is disqualified.

It's a poorly written question. Bad authors don't get to write bad books and call them "trick books".

I agree, I don't like trick questions

Lol. The correct answer is written in.
