I have no idea where one starts and one ends. Executive functioning issues go with both diagnoses. Creating chaos too, despite the myth that all with AS are neat and orderly. I'm a little bit of AS and a little bit of ADD. Not sure how artificial a line drawing would be in my case.

With me, I think the social issues got milder just because I am ADD as well. Despite having issues initiating action, I'm quite open and speak before I think. Why I do that is probably a combination, but the drive to actually interact and make mistakes have probably trained my social skills, and without ADD I would probably not be as open. And maybe even AS helped me analyze my errors with socialization, so they go well hand in hand.

I have strong interests, or had more when I was feeling better. My mind is always going in a 1000 directions and I'm a daydreamer. Ritalin helps me focus. When I was a kid I was always bored with school. And oddly interested in my own stuff which I could hyperfocus on.

My ex doc says I'm typical ADD without AS traits, my psych says I'm typical AS with no ADD traits.

LOL.
