The Impulsive Thinker Understanding Autism vs ADHD: Clarity for the Entrepreneur Mindset
André, The Impulsive Thinker®, sits down with autism expert Dr. Kenny Handelman for a direct look at how autism traits overlap—and differ—from ADHD, especially for the growth-minded ADHD Entrepreneur. In this episode, we cut through internet myths about autism and dig into what the DSM-5 really says, how "stimming" and fidgeting work, and what rigidity means for entrepreneurial routines and relationships. If you've ever wondered about the social challenges and unique wiring behind an autistic brain, this conversation will help clarify the differences, bust stereotypes, and give you practical insights for clearer self-understanding as an ADHD Entrepreneur.
