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.

100%. My nephew (also ND) sends me YT shorts all the time and I can feel the brain cells dying each time a spoken word gets highlighted or the place where the spoken words are written get rearranged or the background doesn't match the content (it's almost always Minecraft).

They're not designed to be entertaining, they're designed to fire as many neurons as possible in an attempt to get you to keep scrolling and fire more neurons etc. In other words, addiction bait.
