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.

Anyone ever just randomly drop the mask? (lemmy.zip)

The other day I was at birthday party for a old family friend (he's 98)

There were a bunch of people which I never met before. I normally keep pretty quite since that's basically my default option.

Or at least it was until someone asked about AI. I'm not really sure how it happened but I got distracted from masking and immediately started talking loud and fast. I had to be interrupted because I was infodumping so quickly.

Right after I snapped back into masking and was dead quiet. I haven't had this happen in a very long time. The person who asked about AI looked a mix of both startled and amused.

I can't really do that or else it becomes a one way conversation. I either focus on body language or what I am talking about.

I read somewhere that Audhd people are the most monotropic people there are. That feels so true for me.
