For me I was actually diagnosed with just dyspraxia as a child and it was considered severe enough to have some support needs, recently my mum told me that the educational psychologist said I probably had symptoms of both autism and ADHD but I was never put in front of a psychiatrist who could diagnose that stuff.

Of course this was also back when the DSM had the mutually exclusive diagnostic criteria so who knows what they would have labelled me with in the end. I think the apparently ADHD symptoms bother me more and seem more treatable so I’ve gone in for a referral for that at least. Only 6 months to go 🙃
