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.
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.

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.
