Confusion between c-PTSD Behaviors and Neurodivergent Conditions

I found a lot of people were confusing my c-PTSD behaviours I developed later on life for neurodivergent conditions I did not display symptoms for or ever felt I identified with growing up. e.g. a lot of people with ADHD have mistakenly thought I have ADHD as well. Anyone else have similar experiences?

Theres a lot of symptom overlap. I have like, more things than people can guess though so everyone's usually both a little right and a little wrong

I went in for diagnosis for adhd and was diagnosed with cptsd. The overlap is alarming

I test as highly autistic on generic medical tests (that can't actually diagnose you) and I have C-PTSD and attachment disorder and combined they can fully mimic autism.
