It's an unfortunate stereotype. ADHD has loose subtypes of "mostly hyperactive" and "mostly attention deficient"; and autism spectrum consists of introverts and extroverts just as much as the general population.
- coroxout 7y agoAnother stereotypically-opposite but actually possibly related pairing I find interesting: the OCD stereotype is "neat freaks" (not all that accurately, because hoarding is also compulsion-related, and many types of OCD operate on a different axis to neat/messy anyway), and the ADHD stereotype is messy and chaotic, but in a way they both centre around not being able to control what your mental runtime is spent on.
