What itās like living with Autism and ADHD as an Adult;
Surfaces? Cluttered with random shit, literally no organization anywhere ever
Able to watch an entire series, not remember a damn thing. Donāt even bother to remember names of the characters either
Speaking of names? Whatās your name again? I know you told me 50 times already Iām sorry.
I collect Accents in my brain like they are fucking PokƩmon cards
Books, movies, albums, games everywhere. Never read, watched, maybe listened to a single song, played that game for 20 minutes and never played it again. More decorations I guess.
Wait, yāall have consistent diets and workout plans? I could never.
Did I pay that bill? *checks my reminders, forgot to set the reminder*
Sorry I didnāt reply to your text, I read it and replied in my head but forgot to type and send it
Rereading an entire chapter cause while reading a certain passage my mind wandered again
I absolutely hate a lot of those āADHD Lifehackā videos. They donāt work lol
Annoyed by basic human interaction while craving it at the same exact time
Know what a Social Meter is? I memorized mine
Phone calls are terrifying unless Iām 100% comfortable with you. Even then it sometimes can be overstimulating
RIP to all my plants I got when I was hyperfixating on them and forgot about them
I can determine if I want to be friends with you based on a small conversation when we meet. Majority of people I donāt consider friends and will only talk to them to pass time.
A part of my body has to constantly be moving or I get anxiety, fuckin weird amirite
When Iām hyperfixated on a certain hobby, I go hard until I literally burn myself out. I know I do it but I physically canāt stop myself until Iām burnt out. Will probably resume it in a few months though.
Self care means nothing to me
Watching a show thatās more than two seasons is very difficult
Iām able to completely forget about people for months. No I donāt do this on purpose. Lost a lot of friends this way. It hurts to be honest but I understand.
My aesthetic can change QUICK. For example: I can have a 80s style phase, punk or alternative phase, responsible adult phase, outdoorsman phase, and pretty much every style you can think of in the course of a week.
People think Iām fake because I can relate to most things and interests
I can stare off and think of something in depth, forget about it as soon as become aware of my surroundings. (Intense daydreams)
I was labeled as lazy growing up. I literally tried to be the best I could but I mentally couldnāt do anything after school no matter how much I tried.
The fear of never knowing what I want career wise cause my wants change frequently
I have a talent of figuring out other people are autistic based if they are like me in the slightest way. Iām right about 60 to 70% of the time. I donāt tell them though.
Iām easily overwhelmed by basic adult tasks. Can be as simple as dishes or laundry. Bills are debt are a nightmare
The future honestly terrifies me. Good or bad, I naturally stress about everything. No idea why. Planning with me is a nightmare
When I say I donāt care, I genuinely donāt care. Iām not being mean, Iām just passive cause options overwhelm me.
Thereās a ton more but if I keep going Iāll get off track more than I already have.
