> all have overlapping symptomology Yes, I did a bit of searching and it appears I may have both. My extreme focus and interest in computer programming has made me successful, but doesn't feel manic at all. It feels like a form of autism that I saw when I met some trainspotters. On the other hand, I do get manic and talk a lot, express a lot of far out ideas, want to spend money - classic manic symtoms - but I don't write very good code in this condition. I do and say dumb things, which my introverted, focused, autistic self later feels is out of control and embarassing.

> talk a lot, express a lot of far out ideas, want to spend money That might be impulse control from ADHD and not mania. Hyperfocus is also another aspect of ADHD. Introversion can also come from ADHD too, and if you get medications, you might notice yourself becoming more extroverted. Or you could have some autism. This is why you should go get a proper assessment and stop doing the equivalent of Dr. Web MD on yourself.
