How to Tell the Difference (and When Both Fit)","Many adults wonder whether their focus issues, social fatigue, or sensory overload look more like ADHD, autism, or both.

Crowds leave you drained, but so does an open-plan office with three conversations at once. You hyperfocus for hours on something that matters, then lose entire afternoons to nothing useful.

So has awareness that autistic traits in women, late-diagnosed professionals, and “high-masking” people were missed for years.

Plenty of people sit in the overlap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This article is for adults who want a clearer map. What tends to look like ADHD. What tends to look like autism. Why both can be true. How brief screeners fit into a careful next step. It is not a diagnosis.

Many adults (especially women and people who grew up being told they were “too much” or “too quiet”) spent years copying social scripts, suppressing stims, over-preparing for meetings, or using caffeine and grit to look “fine.” Masking blurs the textbook pictures.
