I struggle to rest and recharge as an #AuDHD because I need mental stimulation and I get bored easily with classic rest (watching a show doing nothing elese ? NOPE)... But maybe there is a form of active rest ? Activities with low sensory input ? What do you think ?

(Edit to replace "Netflix and chill"... Seems used to say something else 😬)
Is there any #AuDHD who have found a good life balance ? Enough stability, novelty, no crash / burnout ?
How does it look like ?
I need examples to try to build mine...

So many posts from ADHDers are about meds. What do these meds do for you that is so wonderful? Do they make you efficient in the NT world of work, or are there personal benefits that you actually want for yourselves???

Does anyone know of any formal medical descriptions of how autists use language, & how we differ from NTs in this way? I have searched everywhere, & can't find anything.
We think and speak differently, but no formal recognition.
As I gradually see past my own gullibility, it seems our #ND community is an oasis of #honesty & #decency* in the barren desert of NT-world. Am I right, or just getting old?

I have #autism (formal dx) and #ADHD (self dx). But I can't seem to separate the two. What are the differences between them? Or do they just blur into one another? Can anyone help?

As I come to understand my #autism better (I was only diagnosed 7 years ago, aged 63), I realise I have lived a hopelessly innocent and naive life.
I have always tried to live my actual real life trying to be decent (etc). I thought everyone did the same. What a fool I have been. 😢

@actuallyadhd friends, what does finishing a task *feel* like?
All I get is vague relief of one less worry, with mild foreboding that more must be done anyways
People with more ADHD (diagnosis) clue. Are there any noticeable downsides to a formal ADHD diagnosis with regard to discrimination and more?
I'm asking since for Autism there can be some significant cases where having a formal diagnosis is a problem, but it seems to me to be not an issue in the same way for ADHD.
I mostly care about Ireland / EU, but if people have information from other locations I'm interested in that too.
PS. Not that I think it makes a difference, but I'm not asking for myself in this case.

Favorite recipes for low mental effort meals? Examples welcome for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
(And I fully intend to include a note that all food is breakfast food if you eat it in the morning!)
around your ADHD treatment and support?
4. Do you have any specific thoughts or experiences about any of the following:
- Dietary adjustments for ADHD
- Mind-body practices
- Neurofeedback
- Psychotherapy for ADHD
- Any other ADHD treatment
Anyone got any ideas on how best to avoid the Limp Pics?
We've just endured #Euros, then #Wimbledon, and now ... some more #sport. 😤 Why? 😭😭
Isn't psychological cruelty some kind of Crime Against ... Humanity? 🤔

Hi friends! I have another article to write. The topic is ADHD-ers sharing our experience of what it is like existing as an ADHD-er. Need to send questions to about five folks about their stories.
You can reply here or submit a contact form: https://resiliencymentalhealth.com/contact/ and I'll send questions.
I would need responses by 2/15. Any takers?
