It’s so hard to explain to my mum that I know that I have to like brush my teeth and shower and go to the bathroom, etc But unless I’m reminded I don’t remember that that is something I have to do.
Cos she just thinks I’m lazy. But it’s not that. I just forget that that a fundamental thing that I have to do. Even brushing my hair and eating.
i think math is hard for us because mental math requires a good working memory vs us who (me) only remember like one or two things at a time and if i’m trying to think of something too . i can’t finish this comment cause i’m on my phone and it won’t let me pause and i can’t think past the talking and i’m also missing all the talking and it’s makin me upsetti anyways i came here cause i was curious about the similarities and differences between adhd and autism ah thank u!
Incredible how I can relate to both, at the same time I can identify what points changed over the time, specially with the therapy and the medications for the depression and anxiety.
It's not like I'm less autist, just that I'm dealing with it in different ways. Anyway none of the psychiatrists that I went believed that I am, just because I speak well and learned how to interact very well, but they don't consider how much I suffered to learn that and how long it took. And there is the problem, in my country people don't have a lot information and think that autism is only the moderate or severe, or even think it doesn't affect females (I think that's why they never believe me, since I identified as a cis woman until a few months ago).
I'm also autistic with ADD. I think for me if I've made a plan or have something I want to do, and I'm made to change it, then I get upset. But I enjoy changing furniture/decorating and I tend to have multiple activities going on at once.
I get bored of the same thing a lot. I have been diagnosed with ADHD but i also wanted to get tested for autism bc i feel like i might have them comorbid?? But idk.. either way i know i get so bored and annoyed of the same thing sometimes to the point where i will rearrange my furniture and stuff and just clean bc i always forget to clean.. also I also hated math but was best in English???? I also procrastinate all the time. I cant start a task bc i dread starting it. I think about needing to complete it all the time but then I’m like also like “ah i dont feel like it right now” but then also “but i know i need to start it” and ahhh… i totally understand the brain picture vs irl picture.
Not sure if you’d be interested in this but … I’m a postgraduate studying psychology and something most people (especially your younger audience) aren’t aware of is the genetic ‘sister syndrome’ connection between autism and schizophrenia. Might be worth looking into and as a fellow sufferer of psychoses it would be nice to have some positive representation because right now we’re the crazy killers in most movies 🙄
I have straight up been asked if I have dyslexia a couple days ago because I said I struggle reading I just struggle focusing on small words i find myself reading the same line twice
I am on the spectrum and my best friend also has ADHD. We’re very similar but there are differences we also have that are totally irreconcilable, but we’re both very accepting of that. We can still get on each others nerves.
I don't know if either of you will ever see this but this video was indredibly helpful! I'm in the process of being evaluated for a learning disability; I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid however I believe there is something more going on, more than likely ADHD, due to various things that have happened in my life, and especially since moving to work from home. But there have been things that happened to me socially that I feel aren't necessarily explained by ADHD. One thing I often did when I was younger was when I heard an adult tell a joke, even an insensitive joke, and people laughed at it, I would remember it so that when I had even the slightest opportunity to bring it up, I would because I wanted people to think it was funny and like me. Very often, these jokes were not only not funny, but also were in very inappropriate circumstances. I did this through middle school, possibly even a little in highschool (although that was less jokes and more choosing my battles poorly). The weird thing is I've always been very sensitive to nonverbal queues in others and how they are feeling. But it's like in those moments I'd get so excited to try to have my moment that I'd forget to check the mood of the people I was interacting with or really evaluate how those words would make them feel. Like a social tunnel vision.
I'm 26 and was recently diagnosed with ADHD. As I learn more about it and it's similarities to autism I feel like so many things about myself are making sense for the first time. I'm not sure how old you are but I think you mentioned you're in grade 7 so I assume around 13? I just wanted to say the way you talk to and understand each other is so beautiful. I can only speak to my own experience but I think if I had had this type of peer support when I was a teenager I would have been able to accept — and show compassion towards — myself a lot earlier (I mean… still working on it but I suppose that's just life). Anyways, hope you have very good and nice lives you're doing amazing!!!! 🙂
I subscribed keep up the great work paige
This is so rude and I'm offended
No cotton? What's the temperature over there? What fabrics do you feel most comfortable in?
I literally screamed FINISHING A TASK! It’s torture finishing one thing.

I have both ADHD and Autism so it is very interesting to see how they can differ. Sometimes it’s difficult to know with myself 😅👏
I totally Resonate with both thingd

You hate math because it relies on working memory which is impaired when you have ADHD.

I have straight up been asked if I have dyslexia a couple days ago because I said I struggle reading I just struggle focusing on small words i find myself reading the same line twice
I don't have Autism or ADHD but I am very introverted and a bit shy.
I am on the spectrum and my best friend also has ADHD. We’re very similar but there are differences we also have that are totally irreconcilable, but we’re both very accepting of that. We can still get on each others nerves.
