AuDHD
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.

Maybe inversion of sleep schedule? Apparently, that's common with ADHD. But, in doubt, seek professional assistance.
the psychiatrist i have access to sucks. she acts like im ruined her day for showing up to my sessions. it's part of the US veterans system, and i've seen other psychiatrists here. they're shit. im considering dropping the ~$350/session just to aee a private one.
If you're just burning through money without improving, I'd also suggest to look for alternatives. If you have the option, maybe psychiatrists in other states would be more willing to help you?
nah, it's government healthcare, so i don't pay anything. my other option would be to pay ~$350 out of pocket for a private psychiatrist. i might be able to get that down to ~$250 if i could find a psych nurse practitioner, so there's that option. now that i think about it, i could try searching for a psychiatric med provider that specializes in autism and adhd. they might know what's up compared to these jaded VA psychs that treat everyone like their hunting for disability benefits.
