Doctor suggested I have but I don't think I do because:
I am able to force myself to do things even if I'm not interested in it.
I do not like spontaneity.
When I have a deadline, I cannot leave it to the last minute or anxiety would cripple me.
But I do struggle to pay attention unless am hyperfocused. And I do have executive function challenges. And I have to have a project. And I crave dopamine hits.

Anyone else similar to that?

I think I am. The thing with the deadlines sounds really familar. During my ADHD assessment I faced lot's of such questions where I found out I am affected, but I am partly compensating for maybe autistic reasons.

For example I don't loose my keys or wallet, because I put them everytime in the same pocket and it feels incomplete when they are missing. But for other stuff I have this typical I had it in my hand 10 seconds ago and now I can't find it.

Regarding the deadlines I try to be ready days before. But if an unpredicted incident occurs and needs fast reaction, I observe that ADHD typical stress driven high performance.

I am in the mood to spam some thoughts

You know that metaphor that neurotypical people are running windows and autists linux. I want to expand on that.

If you are a person that is "not looking autistic" people say often something like okay, but you have like the mild version.

I think it's because they only look at how big the differences are they are noting. They don't see where you are coming from.
