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.

TLDR; You gotta feed both the stability that ASD craves and the chaos that ADHD craves. Seek employment that fulfills the ASD needs and stability that isn't too much on your body that it seeps out into your personal life. Seek a personal life that fulfills the ADHD cravings and find physical reminders that occur that could trigger self improvement behavior. Let chaos dictate when you sleep, but structure in how you get ready for bed.
Find balance in all aspects of living life of chaos vs structure and learn/practice the skill to recognize which one is needed, when, and the skill to swap between the two
