A person with ADHD and autism explores twice-exceptional individuals—people who are both gifted and neurodivergent. The term
There's actually a concept now called 2E or twice exceptional, people who are both intellectually gifted and neurodivergent, sometimes autistic, sometimes they have ADHD. I have, I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago. I also learned that I have some autistic traits. Combined, those two things make a trait called AudiHD and That can look extremely different in every person that has it because for some people who have it, the ADHD is more pronounced. For some people, the autistic traits are pronounced and the two together can both inform each other and conflict with each other. So to answer your question more directly, some of the traits that can show up are a lot of gifts, like systems thinking, being able to recognize patterns, being able to connect dots, strategic thinking, being able to think and see several steps ahead, a strong sense of intuition, a strong sense of moral justice and needing to be aligned with values and needing to see justice around and in the workplace and in community.
