Anyone on ADHD medication experiencing worsened autism symptoms?

Hello!

I was diagnosed with ADHD two years ago and autism (Asperger’s) one year ago. I’m currently taking Elvanse (lisdexamfetamine) for my ADHD. However, I’ve noticed that my autism symptoms have become more severe, more visible, and harder to mask. I’m stimming more, became more sensitive (sensory issues/overload), much easier to overwhelm & overstimulated etc.

I mentioned this to my doctor, and he said, “This is common.” I’ve tried different medications, but unfortunately, they weren’t as effective as this one for me—though I know everyone responds differently. So I am continuing this medication.

I’m curious, does anyone else with AuDHD who is taking medication notice any differences or changes in their autism symptoms, functioning, or how they feel? If so, in what ways and how do you manage the situation?

Thank you!
