Please stop and go educate yourself.
ADHD is at times co-morbid with autism, but they are not the same thing, have different neurological causes, symptoms and treatments.
Sincerely, a diagnosed ADHD, non-autistic person that self-identifies as an empath (i.e. the opposite of a psychopath. I can read body language and empathise with people better than most. It's not always as fun as one might think.)
A common misconception is that empathy means love and compassion for everybody. No. It just means being able to easily put yourself in other people's shoes and feel their mental states. Empathy alone doesn't turn you into Mother Theresa.
- austin-cheney 3y agoI never claimed they were the same. I have been recently educated on this matter through numerous visits to psychologists/diagnostics in support of a family member. I promise it’s a better authoritative source than YouTube or amateur bloggers.
- sph 3y agoAre you claiming to know more than someone with the actual disorder because of secondhand discussions, and that also gives you the power to diagnose strangers over the Internet? Bloody hell the gall of some people.
- austin-cheney 3y agoIt appears so.
