ADHD and mild ASD can sometimes look like one or the other. TBH a good neuropsych will do both if they have any suspicion of ASD if they are also doing ADHD testing.
interesting. i was diagnosed with adhd in my freshman year of high school, but i distinctly remember about a year later my therapist conducted a cognitive performance test that showed i did worse on the meds, which i remember he was surprised and embarrassed about. so, i wonder... i have always had a faint suspicion, but i know im absolutely not qualified or objective enough to make an inferrence
There are several forms of ADD, some of which don't respond to stimulants. Check Daniel Amen's work, there is a video on youtube "healing add - see and heal the 7 types".
