I have both AS and ADD and the ADD in me shows up mainly in my attention problems (I "space out" a lot) and from stuttering and stammering that result from me thinking things faster then I can verbalize those thoughts.


That's my experience exactly.   And I've noticed that while I do get hyperfocused with certain interests of mine, my focus on one will run its course in a very short amount of time and I'll end up finding something else to tune into for a while, and so on.   I take Ritalin to get through the workday, but even with that it's often hard for me to stay focused when I'm really not interested in something.

I have an ADD and an AS diagnostic too and what appear from that is that I have a really short attention span and a poor sense of social tendencies. It seems to disappear as I grow older, but I can't be sure.
