Some things that might that Autism and ( ADHD) is that people who face it struggle to understand the world, people their feelings, etc, which can cause them to do and say things without thinking, knowing, understanding, etc how it affects people and things. However in most cases it maybe not all of us who face it, it may improve through lives but in some areas of life, it may still be there. What I am saying there may not be correct for everyone, which probley can vary from person to person.
However, with the right support for these people, training, teaching, etc of others with the patience of those around them, it is possible to help these people be aware of their own actions as long as it's understood with many it could take however or whenever long.
In past, not just when I was a child, etc but even before then there was no understanding, which therefore most of these people and possibly even those with many problems too were misunderstood by people they didn't intend to be because of how they may have come across to others. However, I will be honest to say that I am unsure that it was all black and white as there were famous people who faced the same but similar problems but I don't think were known at the time, which tells us that despite of it, it shouldn't affect these people making successes of themselves, they just need the right support to do so. https://blog.ongig.com/diversity-and-inclusion/famous-people-with-autism/
In Autism and (ADHD) the signs are similar in the sense of behavior. Just to say if you know people or someone who face either one or both of these problems or who may. The list of signs is huge and it doesn't mean they have to face every single one to face them but maybe most. Also, it may even depend on how often you see these behaviors, this can vary. If you are a family or and parent etc, there is no shame in making your GP, etc aware you have concerns, then they should tell you either. If your a friend etc raising the concern to the person, even family, parent, etc may not be aware or not realize, etc, it may be worth raising the concern to them, then it's down to them.
ADHD in Autism
Struggling to wait their turn.
Acting without thinking
Finding it hard to sit still, fidging when sitting down, even trying to climb stand on a chair, etc.
Talking a lot
Interrupting with people talking a lot, talking over people a lot, etc.
Short attention span
Concentration problems and struggle where they are etc if they have to stop and do something else.
They may lose and forget things a lot.
They may struggle to get organized a lot.
They may struggle with getting studies or and workloads correctly on time. Children may struggle with classroom homework in the same way.
When trying to read a book, they may struggle to read the whole book unless it's in easy read and it has interest to them, but then can vary where they may stop reading for a long time then go back to it, etc or not at all.
They may struggle to do too many things at once, multitask, ing, etc.
There is more than what I have listed, normally most of this behavior is seen as rude, bad manners, etc but if it is happening a lot and the person is struggling to understand why it's not good then concerns need to be raised. Even people such as myself face these problems, understand that these things cannot be understood by everyone but it needs to be raised as much as possible. However' in most of us the older we get, it doesn't go away but with the right support, training, etc these things do improve. Like I said in the last post we all have good and bad in us and we need to balance what is down to the problems and people themselves.
As you already know on top of that, which is part of Autism, people facing problems socially, struggle to interact with others, respond to their name, difficulty with eye contact, struggling what to say to others, and not being aware that certain wordings could be misunderstood by others, not be how the person meant whatever it may be to sound. example; Phase like break a leg. Either the person or whoever they are talking to, depending on whose the talker and whose the listen may see it as it is rather than a joke. Lack of communication and understanding. https://www.autism.org.uk/
Like I said at the start of this post, however old or young someone is some people may take a long time to be aware and understand how they behave, etc appears to others. This could vary to the person and the problems they face etc. When they become aware they don't feel good about their problems make them behave but as I said we are all humans as well with good and bad points.
Anxiety in Autism.
Anxiety in Autism is normally social and generally Anxiety for example is common in people Autism, it may appear because they struggle to socialize with others. It was not the case in everyone but others may take advantage, bully them, etc because they may not understand the person's problems, etc, therefore it could be possibly social Anxiety from even social abuse from others. When I was a lot younger I was easy to lead for eg; if someone told me to jump in a river I probley would, which seems crazy now. I am still vuanble but not that vunable now, this was in my school years and most children can be cruel to other children, choose the most vunable ones to bully, etc.
The signs could be.
Struggling with school, college, university, work, etc even fear of being laid off, etc because of their problems.
Fear of social situations, even if they make friends, relationships, and friendships fears of not keeping them, pretty most of the time that happens.
Fear of open spaces and crowds (agoraphobia)
- other specific fears (phobias)
Signs of Anxiety, there are many signs not listed here but here it some and it doesn't make someone not facing Anxiety if not facing all of them but pretty much most.
Heart racing
Short of breathe
Feeling distressed
Feeling shaking
Sweating
Stomach ache
