I also press F, but for grading the author, not as a sign of respect.
It doesn't exactly inspire confidence into the reliability of expert assessments, when this is the kind of textbook used to train them.

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.

This is probably why I was diagnosed with OCD in my teens and endured years of medications that didn’t help me at all. Now I’m in my 40s and finally on proper ADHD meds. Doing pretty well, I’m happy to share.
Damn... how did you ever make a list with ADHD.
If you have the fun ADHD/autism combo, then you might have a very complicated relationship with lists 🙃
This is me. It sometimes feels like my autism and ADHD are at odds. For a very long time, I refused to make any lists or do any kind of planning because if anything disrupted the process of executing them, I’d have a meltdown or come close to it.
Even now, I have to loosely plan, which comes across to allistics and NTs as being overly negative, when in reality it’s proactive ADHD management and meltdown prevention.
I make lots of lists but never get around to completing them
