Stuttering and ADHD?

Stuttering and ADHD? I’ll make this short and sweet: does anyone here have ADHD/ADD in addition to a stutter? If so, how have your experiences been different than a regular PWS? This can be anything from how you live you life to how treatments are more complicated. Let me know!! For example, my PCP thinks I have ADHD and prescribed Adderall. It’s helped me a lot with functioning as an adult and getting stuff done, but I feel like the meds had a negative impact on my stutter. Gonna see him & a specialist when corona dies down to see what we can do. On the more mild end of the spectrum, I’ve tried SO HARD to meditate but by God it’d be easier for me to design a rocket for NASA. I can’t just “not think” 😂
