➸ Janna's weird crap: Inattentive ADHD in women looks a lot like Asperger syndrome in women.
The question, to me, is which group you resonate more strongly with. And I don’t mean which group of people you get along with better, I mean which internal descriptions - case studies - anecdotal explanations of life - you feel really describe you.
Because I get along with autistic people quite…
This is interesting. I don’t know what objective neurological stuff might explain it, but FWIW, I’ve had the exact opposite experience re. identifying more strongly with narratives by people with a given neurotype. I.e., there’s a lot I can relate to in accounts by people with ADHD, but it does not feel like “home" the way accounts by autistic people (well, the autistic people whose “subtype" or whatever is similar to mine) tend to. I can’t easily quantify what the difference is, though, least of all in words.
Same as feliscorvus.
