I suspect ADHD, my brother has Asperger symptom. Could possibly be AuADHD?

Yeah, I appreciate you, and your advice!

We talked about stuff before, and I like you in general.

    Asperger's just is part of Autism now, the DSM V basically rolled up everything similar into Autism Spectrum Disorder, where there are a whole bunch of behavioral 'dimensions', and basically if your 'total score' exceeds a certain threshold, congrats you get the Autism achievement, lol.

    99% sure anybody who was diagnosed/classified as Aspergers would now be essentially a 'flavor' of Autist.

    There is also a significant genetic component to Autism... if your brother, mother, father have it, etc, more likely you will as well, or at least be higher on the ASD score than a normie from a family of normies.

    AuDHD is Autism + ADHD, which can and do co-occur, but at least for myself, I'm just Autistic.

    Anyway, this is all an overwrought way of me trying to say you have more options than consigning yourself to hope for a fantastic movie plot to occur to you.
