Can you be introverted and have ADHD? Absolutely. People with ADHD have a diverse range of presentations and personality traits. This 2017 study of children with ADHD found that 58% of participants were introverted.
ADHD may result in some symptoms that can make a person “socially clumsy.” If you often find yourself saying and doing inappropriate things during conversations, you might be experiencing social awkwardness.
While hyperactivity/impulsivity ADHD is characterized by behaviors such as fidgeting, constant motion, and non-stop talking, ADHD inattentive and distractible type is quieter and less noticeable.

Our brains process information, and situations, differently at a cellular and chemical level. Yet, whilst some scientists have presented an argument to include introversion as a form of neurodiversity, both introverts and extroverts are generally considered neurotypical.
