Questioning if my ADHD is actually autism

Starting to question if my ADHD might be autism or if I have both. Not sure if I should go through the trouble of getting diagnosed with autism or if I should just assume it’s just the ADHD.

So would I. Both of those are treated so differently. Having a therapist or a psychiatrist do an evaluation will be best
