Dear all neuroscientists all over the world.
If you want to understand about ASD and ADHD, you should recognize the relationship of the amygdala and the BNST.
It’s not possible by any stretch of the imagination to co-occur.

New research finds a worse pattern than the #DarkTriad. The Social #Narcissist (23%) was just as selfish and manipulative as the All-Round #Malevolent (16%). They disguise their self-interest when self-reporting, or when stakes are low, yet cheat and act competitively when there is an opportunity.

We all know the Dark Triad strategy: weaponizing ADHD as a "mask of vulnerability."
But #ADHD isn't a weakness; it’s an issue of having a hyper-sensitive sensor. If your sensor is that sharp, why can't you use that intellect to deliver actual value?

3. ADHD needs signal before it can organize action.
Because low-signal tasks do not give the nervous system enough to organize around:
• no novelty
• no urgency
• no emotional charge
• no visible consequence
• no felt meaning
This is why “just focus” often fails.
The ADHD nervous system is not refusing effort.
It is searching for a signal that means something.
A new study shows that individuals with similar levels of autistic traits are naturally drawn to one another. Brain scans reveal they use alternative, highly effective neural strategies to connect, challenging traditional deficit-based models of autism. https://t.co/6YgJpV6iHU
