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.

(Sorry, can't upload the diagram directly. I mean, I could, but then I could not have the link to the site in the title)

I found neurodivergentinsights to be helpful in general. And useful personally for ruling out other conditions that also overlap with Autism.

Nice resource, thanks. Coming to the realisation that our experience is somehow different to other people is a strange feeling. We never really know how other people feel and perceive the world so there is a huge amount of guesswork involved. I remember complaining about the noise in the office many times and at some point I realised I was the only one who considered it to be noisy. I just assumed everyone felt the same way. Another piece of the puzzle fell into place.
