Has anyone else noticed
People who claim to have ADHD + Autism
Have much better social lives than people who claim to only be autistic
My theory is that ADHD has some kind of protective effect against the inhibitory effects of autism (possibly gaba-glutamate imbalance)
For example, an ND with both disorders will often give off a careless casual aura, they give off the vibe that they don’t give a fuck how they are perceived (notice I said they give this impression, not necessarily that they think this)
I also notice they’re able to escape social pitfalls by just blaming their mistake on autism and moving on, which makes normies more willing to move on and forgive them as well
Meanwhile, people who claim to have autism without any ADHD tend to give off a distant, stuck up, pretentious out-of-touch aura in the perspective of normies
Because they are just so in their head and high inhibition that there’s no immediacy to them, there’s a severed connection with the present moment that I think ADHD can mend in some cases
And this severed connection to the immediate world, is naturally repulsive to humans
Because we are creatures of relation, we make our decisions based on who we can relate to and reflect our selves onto
Of course, there will always be outliers, but this is a general trend Ive noticed
Anyone else see this, or no?
