I was sort of like this, but further inquiry into my parents and friends and classmates it was more:

  1. "Why are you so quiet?"

  2. "Why won't you shut up?"

For number 1: lol follow a train of thought?

For number2: Train has left the station at full speed near instant acceleration

Reading self-diagnosis checklists and articles (for entertainment purposes only, don't self-diagnose, etc), I see an enormous overlap between ADHD symptoms and autism.

What would make the distinction?

It’s very challenging. It mostly comes down to which symptoms in the constellation are having the largest negative impact to the life of the person, as well as how they respond to different treatments. You really need the help of a doctor to navigate the whole situation.

I guess I’m bipolar ADHD. In my small group I’m off the wall, random, crude, funny, no filter. In a larger group of people I don’t know my friends wonder if I’m sick. I guess this is what you get when you cross introvert with ADHD.

The way my therapist explained it to me, is some have the "Outwardly Hyperactive" symptoms, and others like myself have "Inwardly Hyperactive" symptoms which is like you show here.

I've only ever seen 1 person with something like the "energetic" ADHD...

For whatever reason, they combined both into ADHD and ADD is no longer a diagnosis.
