This YouTube channel Neurodivergent Insights is one of my current favorites for autism, ADHD, and AuDHD dialogue. They are very clear with their explanations, and even though they are a clinician, they are very much a part of our community.

In this particular video, they use the term "special interest solar systems" to explain how autism and ADHD intersect where autism is predominant. Found that rather fascinating to frame it in this context.

When Autism Hides the ADHD: 6 Ways It Gets Missed

Hey, the neurotypicals are starting to notice that the Doctor is autistic and ADHD!

I really like the illustration on this article as well.

I was struggling to understand my autistic son - until we watched an episode of Doctor Who

A combination of autism and ADHD caused outbursts, confusion and stress that my son couldn’t understand – until he saw David Tennant behaving the same way

@autistics Me when I believe that this time my "imagined" nervous system issues won't be a problem. FML #actuallyaudhd

If you get inspired and start on your own spiritual journey, please take heed: lots of grifters out there cashing in people's desperation. Or even, well-meaning teachers who cause damage by making vulnerable people even more so. Those of us socialised women, neurodivergent, queer, we need encouragement to be more assertive, to stand up for ourselves. 1-3

@autistics Rejected by a lawyer for SSDI representation because they don't see me as a winning (or likely winning) case.

SSDI lawyers are only allowed to collect some percentage of back benefits. Of course they gamify the system by representing those most likely to win.

So those of us in-between? With adult diagnosis? Who suffered our whole lives because we have been burning ourselves to survive, slowly destroying ourselves? Who crash and burn once we're diagnosed?

We're not supported.

Fuck me. FML. For real.

Thank you, AuDHD. I have several years until my Social Security Disability Income comes up for review, since I'm not yet of the age to exit the program and become truly retired.

But my lovely brain has decided, day and night, it's time to script it up and consider all the possibilities, including what will happen if I am (incorrectly) judged suitable for the job market.

@autistics @actuallyadhd Anyone find that their info dumping is overstimulating?

It's not a bug. It's a feature. 🤦🏻‍♂️😩

Finally a video that has some explanations for my connection to lonelyness. I have no idea how loneliness feels. I absolutely love solitude. It is the best thing for me.

I'm back in the Fediverse, hello again to everyone who might know me from earlier accounts 👋 I used to post a lot in English about #FOSS and #ActuallyAuDHD, but this time I decided to post mainly in German. I just feel a bit more confident posting in my native language. There might still be some English-language posts from time to time though, so if you want to stay in touch you can follow me (and filter out all that German stuff I guess 😄). #introduction #reintroduction
@raganwald I only wish that my #actuallyaudhd brain could be so methodical. When I try anything like this, it reacts with...
