I struggle to rest and recharge as an #AuDHD because I need mental stimulation and I get bored easily with classic rest (watching a show doing nothing elese ? NOPE)... But maybe there is a form of active rest ? Activities with low sensory input ? What do you think ?

So many posts from ADHDers are about meds. What do these meds do for you that is so wonderful? Do they make you efficient in the NT world of work, or are there personal benefits that you actually want for yourselves???

Does anyone know of any formal medical descriptions of how autists use language, & how we differ from NTs in this way? I have searched everywhere, & can't find anything.

We think and speak differently, but no formal recognition.

I use 3 guidleines in my communication (mainly with NTs, but with sane people too),

#Honesty, #Courtesy, and #Clarity.

Do you have guidelines that you use/prefer?

As I gradually see past my own gullibility, it seems our #ND community is an oasis of #honesty & #decency* in the barren desert of NT-world. Am I right, or just getting old?

I have #autism (formal dx) and #ADHD (self dx). But I can't seem to separate the two. What are the differences between them? Or do they just blur into one another? Can anyone help?

As I come to understand my #autism better (I was only diagnosed 7 years ago, aged 63), I realise I have lived a hopelessly innocent and naive life.

I have always tried to live my actual real life trying to be decent (etc). I thought everyone did the same. What a fool I have been. 😢
