Trait Overlap Chart: ADHD to Autism, Giftedness, CPTSD and Burnout
Have you ever wondered why there’s so much overlap in the descriptions of Autism, ADHD, Giftedness, Burnout—and even Complex PTSD (CPTSD)? Let’s dig in.
To give you a glimpse of how my brain “sees” and synthesizes patterns when assessing someone across these areas of complexity, I’ve created an 11-page comparison table featuring traits commonly associated with ADHD—and:
Identified how each item may also overlap with Autism, Giftedness, Burnout, and/or CPTSD
Included my reasoning for why and how these traits can show up across multiple domains of neurodivergence and trauma-related responses
In other words, every time someone endorses a trait in an ADHD assessment, this table shows the broader differential considerations I explore—informing potential diagnoses, identifications, or next steps.
This resource is a sneak peek of that table—designed for you to share with your therapist, coach, partner, family, or medical provider to help explain the full picture of your complexity.
