AuDHD
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!

I almost suggested the same. I have been vaporizing herb for a few months, it can help me get into a state of flow that's otherwise hard to attain. It also calms my anxiety in small doses (big doses can have the opposite effect). But it's a double-edged sword, because it can also encourage idling. This means I make sure I am stimulated (mentally speaking) before doing any vaping, then when I start I'm already treading the good path and it's easier to maintain that momentum. Otherwise I'm at risk of firing up Cyberpunk and doing parkour for an hour. I sometimes end up over-obsessing on a single task (multitasking is utterly impossible), and when it's done I naturally engage the next task in such a smooth and determined way I don't even recognize myself.
This, paired with earplugs, works for me. But then again I work from home. It's not possible for everybody.
