Is it ADHD, Autism, or BOTH? Time to test your knowledge of autistic and ADHD traits and have a little bit of fun with it. In this video, I dive into 12 signs of autism, ADHD, or both, from the unique perspective of an autistic adult with ADHD who also happens to be an educator. I'll share a number of common signs that are commonly associated with ADHD, ASD, or both, and then give you a quick explanation of each one. So join me for "Jeopardy: Autism and ADHD Edition."
🚨 Please SHARE with someone to test their knowledge of ADHD and autism - and to help improve understanding of both. We hope you have fun playing along!
❗️While this isn't meant for diagnostic purposes, it's designed to shed light on various aspects of autism and ADHD, offering insights and real-life examples.
Whether you're on the autism spectrum, suspect you might be, work with autistics, or are simply interested in learning more, this video has something for you. I'm here to provide an insider's look at the unique perspectives of someone autistic with the goal of helping people better understand me and other AuDHDers in order to help us all live and work better together in a neurodiverse world.

@bree_r

Hi Chris and Debby! I was wondering if you have a list with sources you quoted throughout this video. I found the info compelling, and as someone who just got diagnosed with both, I'd love to do some reading! Thanks for the wonderful content.

OK, Chris. Daily activities category. Which style gets frustrated trying to figure out how to open packaging, so rips it apart, or attacks it with a knife, destroying packaging, to get inside quickly? (Hint, this is me, and my grandmother. Think pure autistics would study it, and get a pair of scissors to carefully open package).
@rjparker2414
@rjparker2414 Месяц назад
Here's another. School days category. Which style, while growing up, regularly got sent to the Principal, or got "in trouble", often ending up by having to stay after school for detention (or sometimes suspended)? (Most neurodiverse adults I know experienced this, so I suspect it's both, but I'm AuDHD, so hard to say. Chris, and everyone, what do you think?

It's difficult trying to understand the overlaps, especially when some traits are in conflict. For example, needing structure and routines (Autism), and at the same time having a spontaneous aspect (ADHD). For me, assuming I have both (not 100% sure yet), it seems to result in an additional layer of confusion about what I even want in the first place. I love and need routines, but also hate them. For me, Autism ultimately seems to win that battle most times, but it still leaves me with an internal conflict.
@DrewJmsn
@DrewJmsn Месяц назад
I get it! I was diagnosed ADHD in my mid-20s, almost 30 years ago. Mostly ignored it until my late 40s, and autism wasn't on my radar at all until a year ago after discovering folks like Chris here. Autism would explain so much about me that ADHD doesn't but I'm still debating whether I need or even want a formal assessment, and so far I've not figured out who I could see for this. But overlaps and conflicts and routines... I desperately want (and almost certainly need) routine, but I've never been able to achieve it. I obsess over analyzing and planning routines but the few times I've actually managed to implement a plan, it lasted a few days at best. This is one of my greatest frustrations in life because surely everything would go a lot better if I was deliberate and consistent, but indecisiveness and weak execution foils me every time. Lots of other conflicting traits, but yeah, the routine thing is a bummer.
@atlanticjem2012
@atlanticjem2012 Месяц назад
I have both, plus PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance). I'm a nanny. My current job has been one of the best ever because it is a mix of both structure and some flexibility. I have to get the kids from school every day at a certain time. Dishes and laundry have to get done daily/weekly. But depending on the kids homework and extracurricular activities that change every few weeks, I get to take them out to wherever we want after school. Fridays alternate between extra projects at the house or taking the kids to a movie or whatever. Some things are routine. But it's not all strictly routine or rigid. And both kids are also AuDHD. So we take turns with meltdowns and outbursts. I have a better grasp of my limitations and don't necessarily have meltdowns around the kids. But occasionally I might yell or tell them to stop or be quiet briefly when I'm overwhelmed. But together we manage. I get them on a level most people never will. And they have parents who get it. I could never survive a desk job.

@shellier1172 Месяц назад
One of my most obvious (now) overlaps shows up in art. For 30 years I was always amazing at any instrument I picked up, on a purely technical level. But since I was so good I got pushed to higher level music classes that included jazz improv and writing songs, and I completely collapsed under the weight of the pressure to create something new. Two of my boys are constantly engaged in playing pretend, but you have to know what you're looking at to realize they script each other. They play act as superheroes, and I'll hear one tell the other "and now you say 'I'll save you!' And if the other kidlet doesn't follow script it all falls apart. Trying to explain to people the concept of needing "structured creativity" is exhausting, but outside observations by those who don't know what they're looking at inevitably end in "but that's normal" and just... nah, not quite.

@shellier1172 I can relate to that too. I have had piano lessons for about 11 years as a child and became quite good, but as soon as my teacher suggested improvising, I flat out said no. I can't do it. I just can't. So yeah, I thrive on structured creativity. Once a friend and I had to write a small poem for some kind of party game and he just started rhyming on the spot. And I was like 'how do you do that without making a plan of what you're gonne say first' because I thought making structures for everything was normal.

Did you know that people cannot truly multitask? Our brains cannot fully focus on one thing at a time. When people “multitask” what they are really doing is switching their focus back-and-forth between tasks.

My personal experience tells me that this is not 100 % right. As I was young at work, I could easily talk on the phone to patients and continue to handel blood in my laboratory.

It depends whether the tasks use the same brain function or not. It is very easy to multitask when one is cooking AND having a conversation. Trying to have a conversation while doing work with words would be impossible.

@Cainmak I discovered last year that I am Autistic (and I suspect ADHD), and after months of research, I’ve come to the conclusion that it must be really boring to be neurotypical ;) My Neurodivergent strengths are pretty awesome and explain why I am so good at my chosen profession. It also explains why I’m good at things I don’t necessarily enjoy doing, and why doing everything at once led to years of burnout-although I didn’t understand at the time what was happening. I’m currently in the process of refocusing my career on the bits I am passionate about and letting the rest go.

As someone who also has both, I could relate to every single one of these! It's such a great feeling...I'm a 45 year old female who was misdiagnosed with Bipolar in my early 20s, then again misdiagnosed with Borderline in my mid 30s (although, my symptoms did fit closely with BPD, and I'm glad that happened because the treatment for it really helped me in my evolution and my self-improvement), finally got a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD in my late 30s, and only in the last year was I made aware of the fact that I am one of those females who were overlooked as a child when it comes to getting an ASD diagnosis. My little sister more closely (but not completely) fits in with the typical presentation of ASD symptoms, and with her husband and son, there's no doubt. So, it never occurred to me that I might also be on the spectrum. Finally understanding why I've always been the way I am is so freeing! It means I wasn't just a difficult, dramatic, demanding, scatter-brained, talented, frustrating young lady with a perfect memory and wasted potential, who can also be really weird sometimes but at the same time, "clean up real good" and participate appropriately with grown up humans with neurotypical brains. And I'm not a weird lady-hermit who sometimes participates in conversations appropriately and sometimes talks nonstop, changing the subject and interrupting others, or boring people to death with my info dumps because once that train leaves the station... I must finish the thought or else, well, or else my head might explode? Instead, it means that I'm a normal, low-support needs, high-masking woman with ADHD and on the spectrum. I feel like my whole life I was a Martian who closely resembled a normal human enough to pass as one, but knew I wasn't actually a human but didn't know I was a Martian and instead felt like a failure of a human, but then finally found my people. I dunno. I think that's the easiest way that my brain can explain it. I feel like I belong!! ❤❤❤

Well, this confirms it: I'm definitely both (after wondering if I was either, hahahaha). I jump to this conclusion because of the sensory stuff (migraine-triggering smells, sounds. Clothing labels and seams (I wear stuff inside out if it touches my skin)), the hearing someone tell me something and having absolutely no recollection of what was being said (probably because I was in a train of thought) even though I responded as if 'noted', and the horror of social events I so want to go to but (now) realise I'll feel so uncomfortable once I get there. And finally, yes, totally agree that the world going on in my head is often so much more interesting (that's why painting and writing are perfect) than what is going on in the world around me. This last thing is probably the best explanation for sleep problems. Lights out, lying down and off we go with great ideas, plans, solutions, regrets and all that. Thanks for a great explanation. I have to say that since looking into all this asd and adhd stuff, I seem to be a lot kinder to myself. I didn't realise I was being mean to me before, hahahaha! but now I seem to be ok with being me. My 'difficulties' are not me being difficult, they are me.

@@ChrisandDebby I agree with both of you. Felt like an alien all my life, trying to fit in - but never really did, and felt regularly judged. Thought I was inherently defective, on some level (think that's called "low self worth). However, when my therapist suggested my autism, in Oct 2023, and I looked into it - I couldn't believe how well I finally "fit". It all made sense. Began to accept myself, be gentler, allow "quirkiness" to be OK, and have found a wonderful large neurodiverse community (mostly online) - who can relate, and I feel comfortable with. I regularly thank my therapist. Am also grateful that since I'm retired (nearly 70), I no longer have to try to conform to neurotypical expectations in the workplace, or try to understand office politics, etc. Have my comfortable morning routines, non-human company, eat what I want, selective social interactions, etc. Much better!

I am a late diagnosed autistic and have known a few other autistic people. In my experience, I actually get really bored if I'm not multi tasking. I have to read a book while brushing my teeth, and if I'm watching a show, I have to be doing something with my hands, like a craft project (one of my hyper fucuses!) In high school I had to doodle in order to focus. I am a therapist and many of my clients are autistic... One kid can focus in school better if she's listening to music. So question 11 may not be as accurate. Love the episode over all!

I'm not usually one to be late because I forgot the time, or lose my keys and phone a lot because my Autism overpowered my ADHD and I put my keys or phone in the correct spot every time or I really kept up on my calendar as my routine and strong habit.

My mom likely has ADHD, and my dad autism. I may have both, and I only learned this as an adult. I tend to grativate towards people with ADHD and autism, before I understood I likely have it as well. My first boyfriend was diagnosed with Asperger’s, and my second boyfriend was diagnosed with ADHD after we broke up. My husband shows signs of ADHD, and his mom shows, what I would say, is the most overt case of ADHD I’ve been around. Whenever I visit, I basically follow her around and make sure the stove isn’t left with pots boiling, that she doesn’t forget where she placed things, that all the priorities she’s juggling don’t fall into chaos, that abrupt shifts in conversation find their point, and so on. It is very exhausting, and I both relate to her but also get anxiety because I can’t ever just do one thing at a time with her and at some point I just shut down and become comatose and sleep for 12 hours (or get sick). It is so opposite of how I operate when I am by myself, and yet… familiar. With my husband and I, we get lost in our special interests to the point we neglect important things. Like, it can be a struggle to eat or do necessary life tasks when we both get stuck in our own worlds. Usually I pull out of mine first because I eventually get worried that he hasn’t eaten for 10 hours working on a project, and while it is perfectly fine that I don’t eat for 10 hours while I work on my projects, I can’t let him do that to himself, lol. But we can understand one another, and confronting the difficulties we share helps both of us in the long run.

I would add stimming! People with adhd would be more likely to do normal looking stims bouncing their foot, fidling with a pen, when bored or to try to have an activity to keep their distractable mind busy while they try to focus. but someone with autism will have a lot more variety of stims and rely on them more to deal with change.

Not necessarily true for ADHD to be able to mask their stims better... I pace the room a lot while intensely thinking/ activated, to release energy and be able to focus.

Oooooohhh yes. Or I should say oooooohhh no, as in no, I absolutely CAN'T multitask. And I CAN'T have music playing with singing going on while I'm trying to do...well...ANYTHING, but especially any focused thinking, like reading or writing. There is a range of music that does, yes, help me when it's going on the background, mostly of a darker, melancholic, haunting sort. Think Faure and Ravel's "Pavanes," Debussy's "Reverie" and "Clair de Lune," or think the soundtrack to Shadowlands (with Anthony Hopkins), or John Doan's "Eire Isle of the Saints." Or there's a RU-vid video called "a playlist to read/study in your room (dark academia)" that I can just have going over and over again while I study. Or, finally, there's another called "SOLITARY SAMURAI - 10 HOURS - HANS ZIMMER - JAPANESE MUSIC RAIN MEDITATION" that I need to want playing every time I take a shower or, in general, when I just need to focus in a special way. As for interruptions breaking your focus and make it really hard to come back to them....ohhhh yes. There have been interruptions in my life that threw me off a passionate interest for...MONTHS. The whole prospect of trying to reconstruct that practically transcendent state of utter psychic immersion, a real union of being with whatever it is I was immersed in, seems like a hopeless Mount Everest to climb...a bit like picking up with telling the great love of your life how much she means to you after she stopped you midway to remind you that whenever you're done with what it is you're saying you have to run to the supermarket to get the turnips you were stupid enough to forget this morning. "Er, yes, dear, of course I will, but...but the thing I was trying to say was...uh...well, you know, maybe I'll just go get those turnips now."

Something I’d love to hear more about is actually those 10% of autistic people who don’t experience significant sensory differences. I most likely have adhd, but there are a bit too many asd traits that I relate to that are not shared with adhd, but since I don’t think I have sensory differences, I’m quite skeptical that I may have asd. Maybe I fall into the phenotype, who knows. I want to chase an assessment for adhd at least, cuz the executive dysfunction is being quite the challenge for me (my whole life, but specially now with job related issues) Another ‘funny’ thing about the ‘talks too much about interests’ thing. I can’t relate to that, but for specific reasons. If someone lets me talk about smth I’m fixating on, I can get so excited I literally start shaking. But generally, I never mention things I like because people don’t want to hear about this random fictional character. I’ve noticed that every single time I try to share something with my mother, she immediately shuts me down, and it hurts. So as an adult, I can barely talk anymore with people irl. When I interact with others, I just let them do most of the talking. It sucks, I know that, so when I’m hanging out with my (ND) friend, I let him info dump about the newest game he spent the night playing, and when I take a walk with my little brother, I let him tell me about pokemon for an hour straight, even if I don’t really care about the subjects.

I think that pop music is the perfect way to explain autistic routines to neurotypicals. People like pop music because they can latch onto predictable patterns and carry them into fun and exciting new patterns, but it never deviates to much without risking becoming prog rock (or name a genre). Most people love pop music. That's why it's pop music. But your brain loves that familiarity. Those same patterns over decades and decades. Those same four chords never get old. For an autistic, discovering new routines is like finding a new song or new favorite genre of music. Meanwhile, deviation can be like pumping prog rock into the ears of someone who only ever listened to Backstreet, N-Sync, and Britney growing up. Or playing Johnny Be Good to a high school prom a few years too early. ;-)

My daily routines for my forty year self are more relaxing and inner thoughts more entertaining than anything or anyone outside of those routines. With excellent perception and memory any odd sensation can "bug" me. On the flip side, I'm an excellent cook for my family; and go by sense of smell and visual textures instead of exact measurements, especially with spice rubs and sauces. It's a gift and a curse. I wish outside conversations did not speak very fast, and give time to think. It's hard to "read" people who are not literal straightforward and overuse sarcasm.

Not every autistic is a strong visual thinker and I dare say that's an old stereotype.

In other words it's wonky all the way around!!

I would like to share a comment about question eight. I am autistic, and I have aphantasia. For me, my ability to visualize is very restricted.

It is true that autistics are stereotypically visual thinkers, but it definitely cannot be made as a blanket statement!
@ChrisandDebby
@ChrisandDebby Месяц назад
You are correct! My statements are from a general perspective, but there are exceptions- as you’ve mentioned. Every individual with autism is unique. Btw, I find aphantasia to be very interesting… partly because I’m such a visual thinker but I can’t visualize what it would be like to not be able to visualize. How do you think about objects in your mind?
@philadams610
@philadams610 Месяц назад
@@ChrisandDebby I can create faint visualizations, from which I can cognitively process abstractly. It’s very strange, because I have figured out that I have visual memory, I am just unable to spontaneously access it. Also, if I can connect a visualization to another sense, I am more likely to be able to experience it. For instance, when I used to memorize a piece, I learned on the piano, I would be able to visualize the score in my head, but only because I could connect it to the sensation of the music in my fingers and the sound of it. Another interesting thing about folks with aphantasia is that we typically are able to visualize in dreams.

I’d say number 3 is both for different reasons. For some with ASD, back and forth conversation can be difficult and confusing leading to interruptions and not picking up social cues. People with ASD may also struggle to pick up when someone’s finished talking and end up talking over them. Def more common with ADHD but can also be part of the ASD diagnostic criteria as well.

I first recall instances of resetting my password, then I select the right one and work through the logic to find my current password. This is obviously a bit taxing when you have to maintain several passwords, so I've found that handwriting them is the most secure method in today's world.

These are all generalizations and don't talk about underlying things.

Many autistic people interrupt because turn taking is a non-verbal social cue. etc. etc. Also. the overlap between the two may be as high as 80% or as low as 20%. It's not even clear we're talking about two things rather than different degrees or manifestations of one thing.

😂😂 This comment cracked me up!! I’ve been learning a lot about pda recently… my wife Debby has been funneling me resources. It’s her way of politely letting me know what’s going on in my brain. PDA is pretty freaking crazy and I’m planning on doing at least one video on it.
