#adhd and autism

Autism: If something changes, I will cry.

ADHD: If nothing changes, I will cry.

ADHD/Autism comorbity: I will cry.

Um

I made something

one of my autistic/adhd quirks is that i'll repeat the same information over and over. and i don't mean in a infodump way (although that happens too). i mean if i have an appointment at 12pm on a tuesday, i'll say that like 3 times to the same person before the appointment happens. or i'll tell people who aren't close to me (yet) the same few things about myself, or my family, or the town i live in, etc. i always feel like i annoy the shit out of people by it, but if you don't make it 100% clear to me that you a) received the message and b) retained the information, then my brain goes "oh, what if they don't know this? i need to tell them." and it doesn't stop.

Here’s some Creek sketches I did for a TikTok :) I think they turned out very cute

I think I’ve reached peak ADHD.

I told my friend about a song I started writing about my ADHD, and how crazy it makes my brain. I opened the song to show them, except I realized I never actually finished it. I wrote two verses and a chorus, and that’s it.

My ADHD made me forget to finish a song about my ADHD.

Me: I can't be autistic. Having ADHD is enough!

Also me:

- known to be extremely shy and introverted in the beginning but becoming a full on monster once familiar

- if I like a movie, I watch it 10 times over and then research every single thing about it. Then watch it 50 times more. Buy merch, make sketches, watch video essays, review videos, reaction videos and then info dump about it any chance given (or not given)

- starts rocking involuntarily when immersed into something. Happy dances and stimming every so often.

- can't remember a person I've shared a class with for years on end. But show a random screenshot from a movie I watched a decade ago and I can visualise the scene, name the movie, actors and the plot immediately. (sometimes even if I haven't watched the movie)

- says something literal that has people laughing and stands there chuckling awkwardly not knowing what they found so funny

- gots to step on a fallen leaf. Crunchier the better!

- forgets to drink water for an entire day. Even when the bottle is right there but JUST outside my field of vision

- gets overwhelmed by social interactions and runs from it but cries about being lonely

- gets awkward when even a family member or a close friend hugs me.

- has built an extensive vocabulary but gets nervous while talking, sometime stopping mid sentence and just leaving the conversation altogether.

- collects shoes, clothes, key chains, action figures, movies, photographs, etc.

- gots to pluck a leaf everytime I pass a low hanging branch of a tree

- repeats a phrase from a movie or TV show in normal conversation...without even realising it.

- has a LOT of sensory issues.

- so much trauma and info dumping in conversations with a potential new friend. Like just STOP!

- extremely naive and trusting, has a strong sense of justice and takes rule following to new heights

- couldn't talk to guys. Still find it difficult and avoid it.

- contemplating whether or not to share this post......

"wow you're really dumb"

I'm just an autistic cat with ADHD, what do you expect of me?

[spacewives-in-spacetime]

i swear adhd has two modes:

i can technically do it but do i want to?

it's a theoretical possibility that i could accomplish this and i will not stop until it is done

(neither are helpful whatsoever)

Giving up Autism for Lent is hard.

Pro tip:

On days you have a low appetite, just eat whatever your brain registers as edible. It doesn’t matter if it’s grape Jello or carrot sticks or unseasoned white rice or chicken nuggets. You need to eat, so at least try to eat. And if you feel bad about what you’re eating, just treat yourself like an exasperated parent treats a toddler who’s going through a picky eating phase and when you eat a few bites from your meal of plain buttered noodles, chocolate chips, and cranberry juice just think to yourself: “hey, at least I’m eating”

Also, I’ve found that eating little snacks every hour or two while consistently distracting yourself from the fact you’re eating is much more effective at getting calories in my body than sitting down for a full meal

There are days I spend on maladaptive daydreaming and sometimes I feel like this imaginary world of mine was more real than the one I live in
