Autism infographic from 2005

I happened to find this interesting old infographic dated 2005. Not too bad for the time. Outdated by 2025 standards, but not a million miles away and there is an understanding that OCD and ADD are co-existing. No mention of ADHD though.

Looks like the idea of a spectrum has been around for at least 20 years. This feels like more towards ideas of a neurodivergent spectrum, rather than one purely focused on autism.

An interesting look at the differences in understanding 20 years ago.

By that chart - type 3 strong ; types 1 & 2 present to a lesser degree

The part on ADD confuses me because it sounds more like PDA. I have ADHD with the H included and that part 4 does not really seem relatable. For me, ADHD is having trouble sitting still without fidgeting and having rapid speech when I talk. It is not a reaction to being told what to do, but rather a built in need to move that is hard to repress.
