  • Useful to a point

    I enjoyed this podcast when I was initially diagnosed with ADHD. However, some of the content seems to describe autistic traits as ADHD. While it’s possible for ADHDers to have ASD traits while not meeting the clinical criteria, it’s also common for ADHDers to be Autistic. The absence of nuanced discussion here concerns me. I feel that it reinforces stigmatization and common misunderstandings of Autism.
