I've also got both, kinda; no hyperactivity just the attention deficit...
and yeah, i agree: that's why I said it can look the same to an outside observer, not that it feels or works the same.
the term I've heard for the task switching problem you describe is "autistic inertia"; basically just means that it's more difficult to start a task, and end a task (or switching to a new task), but once a task is underway there isn't an issue. it's just the starting/stopping part that's hard...
