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.

It's exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it's pretty inefficient. I'm trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.

Do you exercise? What is your diet like?

I know you've probably heard all of this before, but once I started running like 1 hour a week (20 minutes at a time was super manageable for me) and paying a bit more attention to what I ate my sleep schedule and morning alertness became way more consistent.

i used to go to the gym, but im having difficulty getting going enough to make it thru the day. like, im barely making it while a lot of typical life things are falling behind, like house maintenance, cleaning, mowing, laundry, etc.

i eat once a day in the afternoon and have a snack just before bed.
