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.

Does anyone else here not like watching the short form videos (tiktok YouTube shorts instagram etc) because of the overstimulation and that they feel like small talk bs without any depth to them

I am with you on this. My problem is that the regular videos on, say, YouTube are too long. They take forever to get any point across, aside from disclaimers, ads, sponsored segment, etc.

I wish there were a happy medium. The five minute video that talks about something with enough depth that you feel like you have been informed but need to dive in deeper if you want the full picture. (Instead of the 30 second video that throws around flashy animations in an attempt to wow you, or the 30 minute video that could have said everything in 5 minutes.)
