AuDHD
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!

first of all, don't assume the worst right away. you got drunk, you got annoying, it happens even to neurotypicals. you might get scolded, you might get a formal warning, you might even hear nothing at all. you might of course be fired, but don't assume that's the only and most certain possibility right away
when you're less freaked out about being fired, think about how you're going to deal with social events from now on. assume you're not among friends when you're around coworkers and start figuring out the bare minimum you need to do to make them (and perhaps most importantly, your bosses/superiors) feel like you were present and socialized. once you feel your job is complete, leave immediately. during normal workdays, interact as little as possible with coworkers but again measure if you need to interact a little to keep your boss happy.
it's not easy and it's still gonna drain you, but remember that you don't need to appear like your average neurotypical coworker. do the bare minimum, then leave
if possible, try to spend time with or even just open up to people you care about and trust. i know it doesn't come easy to us, but community is one of the most important things for anyone's mental health
here's hoping you keep your job tomorrow and are able to keep your shit together regardless of the result. sending lots of hugs ๐ซ
