What is it?

ADHD and Autism are separate conditions. They are not the same, but they are cousins. Doctors call them neurodevelopmental disorders because they both affect how the brain grows.

Signs & Symptoms

Hyper-focusing on a specific hobby for hours
Feeling easily overwhelmed by loud rooms or bright lights
Struggling to read social cues or start conversations
Finding it painful to switch from one task to a new one

Why does this happen?

Both conditions involve the prefrontal cortex. This is the part of the brain that manages your focus and emotions. ADHD brains often struggle with dopamine levels. Autism brains often have many more connections in certain areas. This makes both types of brains very sensitive to the world around them.
