I think there’s like a 50-70% chance that if you have autism , you also have adhd. So it’s very likely you have both, especially if you’re relating to the adhd symptoms.
I’ve noticed mine fight each other though. Like when I started treating my adhd, my autism symptoms were way more evident. But before that, my adhd symptoms were definitely more prevalent. So that made it harder for me to get both diagnoses at the same time too, and I ended up having to seek separate diagnoses from different doctors. And the adhd diagnosis was way easier to get than the autism one for me, so it may be worth seeking that one out!
