I started putting a checkmark next to the ones that fit me but then realised it would be easier to just cross out the ones that didn't.

So...I've got a brother diagnosed as high-functioning autistic (has a BA and an MA but can't hold a job) and a son with diagnosed ADHD.
And I was on G&T tracks all through ES-JH-HS.
So I've got items in all three but no consistent "yep this is me" and...not really sure what that means.
It might be helpful to google "Broad Autism Phenotype". Essentially, a lot of the time family members of someone with autism will have a mild form of some of the symptoms without really qualifying for a diagnosis. Not sure if the same thing happens with ADHD.
Might also be useful to read up on Mirroring, especially in the case of someone you've lived with for a long time.
Like with all things psychology-related, there can be independent and co-occurrent things going on. Could also be confirmation bias.
brains, amirite?
