ADHD Chatter · Psychiatrist Who's Diagnosed 10,000 Women With ADHD & Autism: "THIS Still Shocks Me!" - Dr Shyamal Mashru · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

The reason why this happened is because ADHD and autism are almost sort of opposite sides of the same coin, right?

And one can hide the other one.

I mean, I know Kuram calls it order and anarchy in the same person, right?

Which is quite a really lovely analogy.

The autistic brain, and I'm going to get a lot of negative comments in the video for this, and I'll try and explain myself, but the autistic brain is a bit more sticky, okay?

They don't have that ADHD symptom.
