I was diagnosed with autism at 13, but only got diagnosed with ADHD at 23. I always assumed that autism was more disabling since it impacts so many things.

Well, after trying a bunch of ADHD meds that didn’t work, I finally found one that does (Azstarys). It’s night and day. Not only is focusing now easy, but I have significantly more spoons in the evening. I assumed my fatigue was sensory/processing exhaustion or burnout.

Has anyone else encountered something similar? I think it doesn’t help that ADHD is rarely seen as “serious” or important, so I might have downplayed it.
