[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 153305, member: 3907"] Terry, I think a lot of the behaviours that we see in Aspergers and ADHD are common, and lots of people are diagnosed with both (myself included) The thing that strikes me about the harping is that it seems to be perseveration, which is so typically Aspie. To just get stuck on something to the point of obsession, whether it be for 5 minutes or 5 years. It's sort of binary...there's a switch that toggles on and stays on until you find just the right thing to shut it off. But there's only one thing. And there are thousands of other things that won't turn it off. I think in some ways it's a matter of degree. That level of persistence seems to come with Aspergers, rather than ADHD. Just my $0.02 Trinity [/QUOTE]
