#ALSO autism and adhd are such an interesting case study in how to describe and categorize mental disabilities#because neither have been linked with one specific gene mutation..or one specific risk factor... or any agreed upon organic difference#(though im aware asd has been correlated with less synaptic pruning and larger brains)... or any definitive or defining symptoms#i have such a tough time categorizing people into ''autistic/adhd'' and ''allistic/NT'' because its like. wheres the cut off point#plenty of people who live neurotypically have symptoms associated with adhd but might be under the diagnostic threshold#idk i just see it as a large continuum where u could fall anywhere on the scale and i want people to understand that its completely#arbitrary where doctors have decided the cut off point/standard deviation is that warrants a diagnosis#for this reason i always encourage people not to fixate on labels if they dont NEED one and just use whatever resources or language works
