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.

It's exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it's pretty inefficient. I'm trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.

Comorbidity? Is that really the right term here? Sounds extreme.

Yup, it refers to conditions that occur together.

Although morbid has quite a negative connotation in everyday use, the common latin root between comorbidity and morbid just means something like sickness.

Technically just having a cold is a morbidity.

Recorded since 1656; from morbid, from Latin morbidus (“diseased”), from morbus (“disease”), from the root of morī (“to die”) or from Proto-Indo-European *mer- (“to rub, pound, wear away”).
