Autism and ADHD

Post Reply New Topic

I was recently assessed for ASD (wait for results has been delayed because the assessor went on annual leave two days after my assessment) and I talked about how hard it is for me to sit still.

I think it's likely that the symtoms I have in common with ADHD are caused by executive function and sensory processing. In particularly, I have difficulty remembering instructions and find it hard to sit still (I need lots of sensory input, it seems).

I know that one of my recommendations (if I do get diagnosed) will be to have a medication review for my antipsychotic.

What I'm wondering is whether needing extra vestibular dysfunction is something that can be treated with stimulants in the way that ADHD may.
