When i was younger it was. ADHD was diagnosed pretty much instantly, 2 sessions, but my mother didn’t believe or like it and nothing came from it and ASD stayed hidden for decades. ASD was diagnosed in my late 20s and this time that was diagnosed within a handful of sessions, i brought old ADHD diagnosis and old documents up myself later.
The combo of both kinda protected me from the worst social consequences and made me completely oblivious to those.
The facial expressions and eye contact and many other human to human interaction related things came much later, basically in my adulthood. ASD hit my social and emotional aspects with a sledgehammer.
