#ADHD and #Autism overlap as #AuDHD and although this is a large subject matter that even professionals struggle with; I'm still going to make the video that I wish I had last year! And here it is :D

If you have met one autistic (and or ADHD) person, you have met one person. This is a spectrum condition, and many traits may be different, or have alternative explanations for your symptoms. If in doubt, refer to a psychologist, and not a YouTuber.

Self-diagnosis is valid!
