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 find it so hard to find anyone compatible. I’m basically slowing down my dating efforts because it just makes me miserable. Are there any success stories out there? Common personality types that pair surprisingly well? Anything?

I don't think I ever did dating. I found a human I liked, claimed them, and got married.

My partner is the best friend I'll ever have, and someone I want to hang out with every day. I'm lucky that they feel the same way about me.

Go out, enjoy yourself, hang out with friends if you want, and you might end up keeping one. Your partner should be someone you can be around every day, through their best and their worst. Where better to start then as friends?

I do agree, but my friends are either not single or not interested or both. I guess I can just wait and hope to get lucky, but it doesn’t seem like a great strategy. I guess it doesn’t help that I’m not very social…
