As someone newly diagnosed with ADHD (and likely/suggested, but not formally-diagnosed ASD), I'm digging into both to understand how my experience differs from others. This includes things like strengths, weaknesses, the usual stuff, but I'm interested in the common ground between "neurodiverse" and "neurotypical" brains (talking in general terms here) as well as how both "sides" can better work together. Use strengths to fill in the weaknesses, that sort of thing. Eventually I may start writing some of this down more formally, but as of right now, I'm just a guy trying to understand his own brain.
