Diagnosed with ADHD with Autistic traits at 40yrs old - Female and just want an opinion

Just asking for others to give your opinion because I recently was told by the Psych that I see that (been seeing for 2yrs) not only do I have ADHD but she drew a pie graph to explain to me that I indicate Autistic traits and not to "walk out of here thinking that means you are Autistic" i kind of understand what she means by that but not really, anyone explain this to me in a way I can understand..or am I reading way to much into something that I probably don't need to worry or put thought into? I will say this like many others have said I feel I am knowing myself more and alot more forgiving in my attempts 20yrs ago of trying to be "normal", it did not help my development growing up as a Jehovah's Witness though, as if I was already not behind socially in lots of ways but being in a restricted, guilt filled cult, does not help you become your true self, in fact being now 42yrs old I am only just now feeling I have unravelled my mind from the cult teachings that pushed my anxiety to a level that may not have been so severe l, however who the hell knows.. any opinions would be appreciated
