I was diagnosed as a teenager with ADD and diagnosed again as an adult with “Severe Adult ADD”. Recently, I’ve been staying with my little sister to help her with my three nephews and the oldest is nonverbal autistic. My second oldest son(through marriage) has autism, as well, but I always believed he leaned more into having Asperger’s instead.🤷🏾‍♀️

Anyway, through my time spent with and helping with raising both of them, I’ve noticed things that they do and ways they operate match up with the ones that I do. Because of that, I’ve been debating on getting myself tested to confirm whether I have or don’t have some form or degree of autism.

However, I’m aware of the fact that symptoms of ADD, ADHD, Autism, and Asperger’s overlap each other.

So, what advice can you give to me about this “phenomenon” and if you feel it would be worthwhile for me to get tested?
