This post is the fifth and final in a five-part series exploring strengths associated with coexisting autism and ADHD.

If you’d like to read the previous articles in this series, you can find them here: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, and Part 4.

Typically too small to see with the unaided eye, it consists of a watery fluid surrounded by a membrane or wall. Most organisms, such as yeasts, molds, bacteria and some algae, are composed of only one cell. cilia: (singular cilium) Small hairlike features that occur on the surface of some cells and larger …
