Autism VS ADHD

❤️ 🧡 💛 MY FAVORITE THINGS 💚 💙 💜

[acmulhern]

So for me, I will make a list, do everything that needs done in the home, realise that for the next part I need to leave, so look for some other home thing I could do and procrastinate until the outside errand place closes so I have an excuse not to do it anymore.
What can I say, I like my home. It's such a relief any time I pass the threshold.

For me, I think I’d forget that I had a list or where I put it. my ASD makes me plan things and make to do lists, but I never end up following the plan anyway…

[Ilovecawstonpresssm]

As an autistic person I literally hate planning things but when things don't go to plan then I get overwhelmed.

[johnfoltz]

My ADHD brain will want to write a list, but will actually forget to bring the list

[cloudex]

I literally sit down, write a whole list that has to be perfect, and then do 75% of the first thing and then stop 😭 AuDHD is fun

[Atlasintokyo]

Basically when you have both you basically get nothing done unless you're really really good at planning

EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY

AUTISM
VS
ADHD

BEGIN!

[themustardseedfarm]

I started writing what I do down instead of what I want to do. This is so much better for me because if I don’t get the stuff done on my list I feel like a terrible person and a failure and just writing the stuff down makes it so much harder to do (demand avoidance). When I see what I did I don’t hate on myself so hard and my mental health is so much better.

petting the pet was so on point like, , the cherry on top, chef's kiss, slay and whatnot

[Flyingratasdad]

I have both I do both things in the video too it sucks because I love routine and having my day planned out so I’m well ahead of time but then realise that I’ve forgotten my list of things or get lazy doing tasks I set myself then have a meltdown

[CristinB-rhjk]

I’m SO thankful to have both!!! So when I’m feeling it I can do it all! I’ve been trying to do it all in shorter spurts though, but I’m so thankful I can get things done when I really really need to.

I do indeed have ADHD, I used to write "NO" on the page and eat it

[TheMerFree]

Here’s what happens, just personally speaking: I’ll begin a list, and if the writing is too messy, or if it doesn’t look as organized as I’d like, I keep crumbling up paper after paper until the writing is neat enough, and the list is optimally organized, streamlined, and visually uncluttered enough. Then, I maybe get one thing done on the entire list that day, consequently losing a night of sleep from the anxiety, and have a migraine the next day. 🎉🎉🎉

Cracked me up! ADHD is winning today😂

[Alaska_luvs_squishmallows]

I have both so this is what it's like to be me











1: I get very angry when the room gets loud








2: I swear alot because random stuff just comes out of my mouth












3: I can't control my emotions so I might do random stuff that really scares people like if I throw a table without noticing because I'm angry






4: I have some sensory things to help me calm down but they don't really help much










5: if I get really angry because i didn't get something I really wanted I might run away and start swearing at people









6: I usually start stimming without noticing because it's an autism thing









7: whenever I struggle with something I start crying silently and I start shaking a bit








8: my autism makes me really smart even though I never used to do maths












9: if I get upset please let me have some alone time












10: I have trouble sleeping so I take melatonin

[peridotofthewoodzyt]

as an audhder, i cry whenever i see a list of stuff that has to be done

[silverendercat]

Me with both having a literal battle in my head every day

[LJ-qfxn]

I write lists sometimes. The things on the list I don't write as demands but more as a reminder and encouragement... Usually I only do some of the things in one day, (and it doesn't have to be in any particular order), and then maby I do some of the things the next day. But sometimes it doesn't happen, but it's ok

[sebMurdock]

This is my life 😭. I make unbelievably detailed lists that are so loooong and take hours. They list every single task, often for every single room, with every single optimal step, and any possible variations (depending on when it is done, possible options, which option in a related task was chosen, etc.).

Once the list creation is complete, a tremendous feeling of sets in. The thought of having to look at or think about this horrible list of stuff (that I have now suddenly decided I will never do) is so overwhelming that I need to escape and think of anything else.

It's truly awful. If I just started doing stuff, instead of having to plan, I could get so much done. But, the anxiety of trying to do something with no plan, system, intentional method that respects related tasks, or any level of task optimization is something I can't seem to bypass. It's just a mess!! 😅

I used to make things to do lists when I was young but realized when I don't follow just one thing on that list I give up the whole day and do nothing. So I now only have daily routines but not lists.
