I've also have been asked if I was dx. with adhd when I was younger both myself and my husband always score really, really high on the AD(h)D scale. My son has AD(h)D that we worry is possibly bipolar.Our son's AD(h)D specialist feels AD(h)D, Asperger's Syndrome, and bipolar are on the same scale. I'm not sure how I feel about this and the non stimulant medication has not worked so a second opinion we go. IRL I know of only 1 bipolar/adhd person and her son originally adhd quickly was changed to dx. bipolar. There are some pdoc's that believe you can have both others don't.
I hear it's very hard to find the right medication w/ both issues but specific anti-depressants treat both. I'm only Dx. with bipolar 1 however I have a 5 min. max focus time on anything. Sorry I couldn't help.
