A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.

Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.

Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.

In regards to medication and medical advice: Please take under consideration that this is only an online support community. Offered advice is always an expression of individual opinions or experiences and shall never be taken as substitute for a professional in-person assessment!

This is a SFW community. Sensitive topics are allowed, but must be properly labeled.

I don't know what I did wrong in 6th grade to deserve writing a 20 page essay as punishment and decades later it still bugs me.

that just sounds like a shit teacher

Yeah, a big unwritten part of grade school learning how to socialize. If the teacher is unwilling to help teach that, it’s their problem.

If they can't tell you what you did wrong, then it's just a stupid power play

Yeah, punishing for the sake of exercising power over someone.

Sorry friend, sounds like the teacher was being rude.

Agamemnon?! Stop playing this game and apologize to Triopas right now, young man! You know what you did!

At this point I ceased to ask.

Me with kinda diagonsed ADHD (I have been prescribed Atomoxetine) when I try to understand why my S.O. is so mad at the moment (we suspect she has ADD).

Ok but how did you manage to write a 20 page essay without knowing what you did?
