The phrase "It's not laziness, it's paralysis" just changed my life. 😢

If my brain wants to change plans and be spontaneous its fine, if someone else changes my plans and forces the spontaneity on me, we have a huge problem!

If i mention this to my doctor he will tell me i watch too much internets.... then and i go back in the

Eye opening... I was diagnosed ADD ADHD in the 1960's.... Medically addicted to amphetamines before I was 8 years old!! Now in my 60's came to understand this AuDHD best describes my Wish I new this 50 years ago!!!!

[BlueCatz]

I feel like the added sensory overloading comes from the delayed processing we have from Asd, mixed with the hyperfocus we get from ADHD, keeping us distracted when we feel overwhelmed and don't notice the signs of autistic burnout until it becomes way too much. It's an interesting interplay of how the AuDHD brain works together 😂

[chewi]

I shut down when new people show up, it is by far the most crippling thing. I can deal with everything else, but as soon as i have to speak to people i just can't. I feel trapped in my mind but i know im fully capable of speaking and being funny, etc.

[Nezumi--]

officially diagnosed with adhd, unofficially the psychiatrist added her suspicions and strong beliefs that i am autistic as well all over the report even though i refused to be assessed because society is stinky and it would interfere with my future plans and needs for a visa.
AuDHD definitely makes sense, and finally answers the question of what some of my "weird" panic attacks were; meltdowns.
I literally figured that out like two weeks ago.

[anarchaos]

As an auDHD eighteen year old, I’ve always been confused as to why I basically have two entirely different personalities blended into one. (The socially-craving jokester one and the social-avoidance emo one lol). This really helps!
My mother always used to accuse me of deliberately ignoring her even tho she’s literally a SEND, she should know better. I didn’t realise till recently that I wasn’t just not paying enough attention and getting it wrong, I PHYSICALLY COULDNT focus on anyone in particular in a crowded space.

I spent so many years of my life under the spell of cigarettes, depression and severe ptsd. Gained my freedom with the help of nature using mushroom (psilocybin) precisely. After my experience with shrooms five years ago every cigarette I lit up tasted like literal poison. I would take one hit and put out the cigarette. I haven't smoked since, no more depressive mood and ptsd. Few doses of shroom experience made a 15 year 2 pack a day smoker quit instantly.
Shrooms are life changing. There is no way you can put into words what it feels like..

'Me. Me. Also me.
I can fake that.' (Groundhog Day)
😂 I hit 10/10!
My son has autism.
My daughter has autism.
I thought i had only ADHD that makes life impossible to manage. It's so frustrating!! I have so many alternate paths i take to try to get 5 feet in front of me.
And I'm always late. No sense of time. No sense of direction.

This is great.
Never heard of it.
I'll have to look into it.
Thanks!

Thank you for this summary. After my daughter was diagnosed with ASD, it took 6 months and a burnout for the penny to drop for me. I did tests that indicated likely ASD for me too and I shared this with the people closest to me. But something didn't sit quite right. At work, several people have joked about my ADHD traits. Your list describes me really well. Getting a formal assessment scares me a little bit as bringing this up as a 51 year old gives me major imposter syndrome. But as I am in a constant risk of burnout and overwhelm due a challenging leadership role and menopause making my emotions harder to manage, I need to do something. At least it feels good to have an explanation for why my life has been such hard work.

[revdoc]

I was diagnosed with both ASD and ADHD in separate assessments only a few weeks ago. This pretty much describes my life. The issue now is what do I do with this information - especially when I've been living this way for almost 50 years.

[TheSpeakersCornerPodcast]

Im 43 and going to be assessed in the next two months hopefully. I would always brag, “ I can think 2-3 things at once” and sometimes it worked out for me, a lot of the time, it didn’t. i don’t use headphones anymore because I once got knocked out by sound. Yes, laid out flat on the couch because my headphones were to loud.
I struggle to get along with people, I only have 3 friends and tbh, I like it that way.
When going into a social event with my ex, she would always say before hand, “ I need you to turn it up tonight jake” I knew exactly what she meant. I could only keep it going a few hours before I need to break away and be by myself a bit.
I’ve struggled my entire life with this, and only now I know what it is. I always thought it was the way I am, but I now know different. I can’t wait to get the sorted

Recently diagnosed, and this video is like the story of my life. Practicing attorney here in America, but originally from the UK. AuDHD is a blessing and curse to me.

[Gmary-]

Amazing video A month ago, my partnership of five years came to an end. The choice to break up with the person I love is something that really gets to me. Even though it's all for nothing, l've done everything I can to get him back, and I couldn't imagine my existence without him. I've tried everything to stop thinking about him, but I still can't help but miss him and think about him often. I don't know why l am saying this here.

[emilyann]

Every single one!! I am 36 and just been diagnosed now with AuDHD. My entire life finally makes sense. Trying to teach my Dad about it. He is doing his own research but wants to know specifically how it affects me so he knows how best to help and support me.

[bridietulloch]

Yes. This is me. Highly sensitive to sensory stimulation, sounds are loud, I can hear sounds from far off and background noise is very distracting. Hyper sensitive to smells, and colour. I crave sensory stimulation too and enjoy sensory stimulation so it’s conflicting because too much is too much. Emotional intensity is less extreme since getting older and having more life experiences that regulate but I still feel things intensely. Grief hits very hard.
My interests are intense, taking up a lot of time generally, I am hyper focused on things that become specific interests, I learn a lot in a short space of time but sooner or later I’m on to the next new topic of interest.
I struggle switching tasks,
Reliance on routine helps to compensate the time blindness but no matter how organised I am I still rush to get anywhere on time. it’s hard to cope with change but I like change and I’m impulsive when it comes to change.
Socialising is exhausting. It takes me at least 2-3 days to recover, most of the time I’d rather not bother. It’s always a relief to get home from work and be alone, it’s also necessary.
