A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.

Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.

Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.

In regards to medication and medical advice: Please take under consideration that this is only an online support community. Offered advice is always an expression of individual opinions or experiences and shall never be taken as substitute for a professional in-person assessment!

This is a SFW community. Sensitive topics are allowed, but must be properly labeled.

Today's plan: Do Thing (slrpnk.net)

Steps taken:

  1. Wake up
  2. Pop bloons
  3. Get out of bed (only when biologically necessary)
  4. Take pills
  5. Eat breakfast
  6. Sit on toilet
  7. Watch half a dozen videos on how to Do Thing
  8. Rest aching back by laying down
  9. Watch half a dozen videos about how to maybe not Do Thing and Do Better Thing instead (that will definitely take more than the day of work I had allowed for it, be backbreaking, and something I have never done before, but will also be more permanent and beneficial in the long run)
  10. Discuss Thing with spouse
  11. Nod off
  12. Open Big Box Hardware Store app and put supplies in cart
  13. Price compare Do Thing and Do Better Thing
  14. Fret about day getting late
  15. Get out of bed when absolutely biologically necessary
  16. Eat dinner
  17. Watch videos unrelated to Thing
  18. Post about it on lemmy as I watch the sun go down

Still left to do:

  1. Thing

But tomorrow, there is time to do thing! Wake up early, start small tasks that start thing.

Oh, that reminds me I should probably have breakfast.

I'm here from /all so apologies, but it's funny how closely this mimics my life when I was still drinking and depressed.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I rarely drink due to family history and my own struggles with (non-substance, thankfully) addiction, but boy howdy am I ever depressed. All sorts of diagnoses knot themselves up and contribute to crippling executive dysfunction. I'm glad you were able to get out of the spiral, friendly internet stranger. 👊
