sometimes wonder lately if i might hav a mild form of autism in addition to adhd, or whether its just that there's a lot of overlap between the two
like i definitely get obsessed with niche topics and hav trouble doing normal smalltalk, navigating social situations in groups and relating to other people a lot of the time, plus i do a lot of oral stimmy things (chewing hands & hair mostly)
but then like, maybe those are all adhd related??? hard 2 distinguish
adhd/autism self-reflection, self-diagnosis-ish Afficher plus
@roadrunner hihi. cousins is a cute term for it
i get that, i also try wayyy too much to attribute just about everything to one of my mental illnesses. i think in my case i might also have ocd and i do have anxiety, so i feel like the intersection of these three makes a lot of autistic traits cumulate and making it look like it a bit??
are you diagnosed or suspecting other mental illnesses yourself? because comorbid disorders are pretty common for adhd i think
