That is an autistic trait?
Severe ADHD here and, uh, if it's autism, it's also ADHD. heh
edit: Hi. I have severe ADHD and I do the thing in the image. So if the thing in the image is an autism thing, it is also an ADHD thing, because I do the thing in the picture. <3
I don't think I have autism, probably ADHD though.
Are you implying that all autistic people have ADHD?
No.
I said I have severe ADHD and was saying that if this issue is an autism thing, it's also an ADHD thing, because I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
