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.

I also press F, but for grading the author, not as a sign of respect.

It doesn't exactly inspire confidence into the reliability of expert assessments, when this is the kind of textbook used to train them.

Not a medical student but graduated with a professional degree. This is the way.

To add to that, one of my professors back in college said of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders that medical and pharmacy students may reflect the symptom profile of the disorder during their studies just to get by. Sounds to me like this is the perspective this professor is demonstrating in this question.

One of my professors said there's about 3 or 4 bouts of hypochondria during med school where you're like "oh fuck, I've got this disease" and this might be one of those moments

Yeah, that shit doesn’t stop after med school… that sticks around

"how many times do you go to the bathroom each day"

"you fuckers turned me into a bathroom next question"

"what?"

"what?" ===ヽ( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)ノ

It's always fun when the standard battery of questions has some really nonstandard answers
