There’s been information coming out that indicates having autism is quite common among ADHD people, and is significantly under-diagnosed, especially for people who got their ADHD diagnosis a long time ago.
Depends. How are you eating? Are you meticulously separating your food and eating it in a particular order? Do you break apart your tator tots into tiny bits, or do you pull the chocolate chips out of your muffins to eat them separately? Maybe you eat all the green veggie straws, then all the yellows, then all the orange ones, never deviating from that pattern?
It’s fascinating looking around the lunch room in a school for autistic children.
the thought of eating each thing on its own is absolutely mental to me, obviously each bite has to contain The Correct Ratio of everything, and you gotta try to avoid anything being left over at the end.
I think people like to take any symptom related to autism and just claim that anything similar is also a symptom. Like, “autistic people do X a lot so if you ever did X you’re probably autistic”. Not how it works.

Is that some you? Have you eaten since then?

every once in a while I finally see a post that I don’t relate to, and I cling to those hard
