ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), also known as kinetism, is a type of neurodivergence. Autistics are more likely to also have ADHD/ADD than the general public. This combo is sometimes referred to by the community as AuDHD.

Kinetism[edit]

? coined the term "Kinetism" to refer to ADHD in the same vein that "autism" is an informal term for ASD.

I'm so sorry! I forgot your name 😓

The idea of the term -- an informal term for ADHD -- is nice, but it is not only not widely known, but many ADHDers don't think it's a great term to describe their neurotype. - MrPedroBraga (talk) 21:03, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
