MushroomTacos and nca14,
Apparently it is possible to be both ASD and ADHD. I don't know how the distinguishing traits apply in that case because they would seem to me to be contradictory. So, I guess that is why an assessment should be done by a professional, not me.
Based on my own experience I'd say the distinguishing traits are likely to both be in play and a cause of deep internal conflict for the individual.
For example, routine can help with building structure and providing order for both and a person who only meets the criteria for autism will likely be prone to easily falling into routines; someone who meets the criteria for both might still be prone to falling into routines but will also struggle greatly with sticking to routines that aren't also strongly reinforced habits and might be more prone to falling out of routines. It's very difficult to build new routines or to have them imposed externally.
