I'm autistic, and I'd rather have adhd than autism even though adhd is horrible too
50-70% of people with adhd lose their symptoms by adulthood and only half of adhd teens struggle to fit in with peers (compared to almost every autistic teen) while autism continues throughout life.
adhd people can take meds and their symptoms are gone but autism has NO treatment. you're stuck that way and even having someone teach you about how to act socially doesn't help half as much as meds do.
ADHD teen guys have more sex while autistic guys end up being permavirgins.
my adhd friend already blended in pretty well with his peers in HS and i only blended in to an extent and his meds helped. at age 20 he didn't need to take meds anymore and suddenly he was doing much better. he lost his v card, started dating, transferred to uni and graduated and made tons of friends (and they all are NT and extroverted, the type of people who would never be caught dead being friends to someone like me only acquiantances at best). he's now NT because he's part of the 50-70% of ADHD people who lose symptoms by adulthood. meanwhile i'm a rotting collegecel who has a lack of a social life and no dating/sexual/romantic experiences.
ADHD people are just seen as quirky or angsty, autists are seen as outright freaks.
