  1. 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 ?

    (Edit to replace "Netflix and chill"... Seems used to say something else 😬)

  3. Is there any #AuDHD who have found a good life balance ? Enough stability, novelty, no crash / burnout ?
    How does it look like ?
    I need examples to try to build mine...

  5. 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???

  7. 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.

  9. 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?

  11. 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?

    * — But #Musk too. 😢

  13. 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?

  15. 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. 😢

  17. Ok #AskingADHD #ActuallyADHD @actuallyadhd

    Favorite recipes for low mental effort meals? Examples welcome for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks

    (And I fully intend to include a note that all food is breakfast food if you eat it in the morning!)

  21. Anyone got any ideas on how best to avoid the Limp Pics?

    We've just endured #Euros, then #Wimbledon, and now ... some more #sport. 😤 Why? 😭😭

    Isn't psychological cruelty some kind of Crime Against ... Humanity? 🤔

  23. Hi friends! I have another article to write. The topic is ADHD-ers sharing our experience of what it is like existing as an ADHD-er. Need to send questions to about five folks about their stories.

    You can reply here or submit a contact form: resiliencymentalhealth.com/con and I'll send questions.

    I would need responses by 2/15. Any takers?

  25. ☕ Whenever I drink #coffee it just makes me TIRED.

    Yet I inexplicably keep trying...hoping for that mythical "energy boost" I've heard tell of.

    Any other #ADHD #AuDHD #ActuallyAutistic #neurodivergent folks out there experience this with #caffeine ?

  27. I'm reading the book "ADHD 2.0" and they have this list of what to look for in your #work environment (for it to be #ADHD friendly).

    Whelp...as someone who works for and by myself...I guess I AM the problematic workplace ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Would love to hear from #SelfEmployed / #freelance #ActuallyADHD #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD peeps:

    How do you create a #neurodiversity friendly #WorkFromHome workplace for yourself?

    I have a hard time with eating with the change of clock. My body knows what time it is. I feel hungry one hour early. It's not ideal for lunch.

    The clocks will show a different time after capitalism.

  30. Any other AuDHDers (or Autistics or ADHDers) here who struggle to cope with the change of clocks? ⏰

    What effect does it have on you, and how do you cope?

    I’m not too bad with it (though I don’t particularly like it), but it really affects my gf

    Searching online yields two kinds of result (mostly):

    1. Parents saying it disrupts their Autistic children’s routines

    2. Opinion columns about the change that miss the point, suggesting changing the clocks is actually responsible for changes in daylight etc. 😳

    Anyway, Daylight Saving Time is something we should do away with when we abolish capitalism 😉

  32. #AskingAutistics #AskingADHD: Since I'm actually workaholic at school and on my side projects which cause me to easily spend too many spoons and even burning out, can it be associated with hyperfocus and hyperfixation? Any thoughts?
