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.

In the middle of a conversion I will start to bring up a helpful quote or some random fact that's loosely related but then I can't remember what it is. I start to speak and then just blank at "that reminds me." After that I then forget what the original context was so then I'm just lost.

Sigh, yes. A dream I have, for a world that isn't as fucked up as ours, is brain computer interfaces that can just record your train of thought for you so that when you get a third of the way into a thought and you forget what you were thinking you can just replay your brain for a second and remember what the fuck you were thinking about. Or you know, walk into a room forget why you're there and say "hey brain, why am I here?" and it will fucking tell you instead of just going "eat a dick bitch". Or God forbid decide on a plan for a day or a week or goals that you have and want to focus on and then have some hope of and fucking assistance in actually remembering that thing that you wanted to do and following through on it instead of just "well your brain sucks and you forgot so I guess there's no life progress for you!"

That sounds like a privacy and freedom nightmare.

Yes, this, thank you.

Ferreal. No inking that whatever you came up with was an "original" thought vs. planted by whatever shareholders you gave the reins to?

Fuuuuuck that, it's already hard enough as it is, thanks.
