Bipolar disorder and autism do frequently co-occur, but I am not qualified to speak about whether type II is more or less prevalent.

One of the reasons I am interested in autism is because it frequently co-occurs with ADHD, BP, Anxiety disorders, and pretty much any and all other developmental disorders, which suggests that beyond "autism is a spectrum", all developmental disorders are also belong on that spectrum.

> autism is because it frequently co-occurs with ADHD

Fun-fact: Until very recently, psychiatric handbooks proscribed comorbid diagnoses of ASD and ADHD - which is outrageous. Especially in the 1990s.

Thanks for responding. I thought it was a offbeat idea of mine, but now I'm going to research it.

iirc, women with autism in particular are often misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder.
