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.

Source of the cute blanket emoji image of this community? (self.autisticandadhd)

I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).

Apparently there are artists that post emojis for discord, and there are a lot of blob variants

I'm an adult and I love my weighted blankets. Yes, blankets, I have one for my bed and one for my couch. I'll even travel with it, even if I have to physically carry all my stuff because I'm traveling by train or something.
