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!
This is a SFW community. Sensitive topics are allowed, but must be properly labeled.

I know telling you not to worry is pointless, but try to realize & remember that everybody's a failure at doing their life "right" - I can all but guarantee you not a single person has ever managed that. We all have missteps that we beat ourselves up for far too harshly.
Work goals are fine, but you should try to have personal ones, too. Anything from learning new things that will broaden your employability, to figuring out how to get ahead financially so you'll be prepared for the unexpected and/or able to retire early if you find something else to do with your life that's of more interest than your job. Personal goals are known to be essential to healthy mental well-being, too.
ETA: The meds someone else mentioned are also helpful if used properly. This response I gave someone else a week ago should explain what I mean.
