Does anyone on the autism spectrum have ADD or ADHD?

Post Reply New Topic

I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's two and a half years ago. Along with that, I was also diagnosed with ADD. I have trouble with completing tasks. I always get distracted and put things off to the last minute. I also tend to daydream a lot and have a negative outlook on life. I was wondering if this is common with people who have Asperger's. My mom is very ADD so I know I got it from her.

I have ADD in addition to my Aspergers & I have dyslexia on top of that. I zone out & daydream a lot & I fidget & stim instead of paying attention to other things. I've struggled in school a lot & I avoid reading things that are very long because I don't have the focus for em. I also don't watch movies very often because of the focus issue.

I have adhd and I have it so bad that I have to take medication for it the name of the med I am on is medadate 20 mg tablets and I take 2
