    It’s the second point there that makes me think I’m not just autistic.

    A routine? I’ve never managed to have those. What I do have is having to constantly tell myself to do something. Every. Single. Time. And if it’s interrupted for some reason? Fuck me!

    Dentist is a condescending jerk about my not brushing my teeth because it is a constant struggle every morning.

      I was going to say being susceptible to interruptions isn’t just an ADHD thing but I forget I am AuDHD sometimes lol.

      I keep trying to build a good morning routine but then garbage day happens and it’s lost for the week lmao.

      AuDHD is a common comorbidity. I am too - it feels like two poorly trained huskies screaming at each other in your brain.

      Sending empathetic vibes your way and hope you can get some sort of support/reprieve if you want it 🩵 /gen

        ADHD huskie: I need stimulus now!

        Autistic huskie: Go clean the dishes that have been sitting for a week so you can enjoy yoursef!

        ADHD huskie: No.

        Austic huskie: Okay then sit around all day doing nothing thinking about how much you don’t want to do the dishes.

        ADHD huskie: fine
