    Processing My Assessment Results

    It has taken me awhile to process my assessment results and I have read and re-read the written report, probably fixating on it too much. I know my thoughts are not rational or logical because I am both disturbed by wording that sounds critical and negative and yet also annoyed because I think...

    Struggling with fixations and obsessive interests

    I've had obsessions and fixations about certain topics since I was a kid. It's not until recently that it's become a big problem for me. Here's the situation: I'm a big Zelda fan, love the franchise, and I was really excited to hear that Nintendo is making a sequel to Breath of the Wild (a very...

    Stereopsis - Is this only me?

    I don't know what's the right word for this but it's hard to "feel space"??? I have a strange sense of balance, space is just like... it's like a lot of little transparent ants running in front of my eyes. (???) It's hard to tell what it's like, it's pretty difficult to draw a straight line or...

    Figuring out Anxiety

    Hello! I am starting to figure out my anxiety more and why I am feeling anxiety more often. I had an appointment with my therapist today. We figured out that my anxiety is due to the ADHD medication I take, which is Aderall. Aderall is an amphetamine, which makes it a stimulant. As you all may...

    Initially diagnosed with ADHD, then diagnosed with delayed development

    What wasn't really fair to me when I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 19 is that is the age where you are really ripe for attempting Life independence and I feel like I didn't even get a chance to. People didn't even let me try and slapped a label on me and told me I couldn't do it because "the...

    Question regarding learning disability and aspergers

    My question is too long to put in the title so this is my question: Is it possible to be diagnosed with Asperger and ADHD when young in 4th grade. But have a undiagnosed learning disability that has gone unnoticed? I'm a 21 year old female, in college, and noticed since I started college how...

    Having Both Autism AND ADHD is Insanely Difficult

    Having both autism and adhd is so darn difficult! It feels like I am never understood at times. Trust me, autism and adhd do NOT mix. They are both heavily misunderstood neurological conditions, and I just happen to have both. Whoop-dee-doo. Ain't life just great? There are some days when it...

    Can I trust him?

    Hi guys, NTish (w/adhd) woman here. I recently got into a relationship with a HFA guy. Now, as an NT person, it’s REALLY hard for me to take things at face value, especially when it comes to dating. Things took off FAST between us. It took maybe a couple dates for him to tell me he loved me...

    Blogging about the struggles

    My blog is about challenges I face day by day, from my dad, my peers, and even people who are there to "help" me. About how I feel my issues are overlook by some people if not all people I know in real life. Just because my problems aren't as extreme as some other people out there doesn't mean I...

    Church and Concentrating

    I've always found it hard to go to church and listen to the sermons... I used to have meltdowns when I was younger just because we had to go. I think part of it is that I can't pay attention AT ALL!!! I usually try to volunteer with the younger kids but the church and my parents won't let me do...

    Can You Repeat That?

    I don't know if other people have this, but if I'm really caught up in something like writing or reading or something of the sort, and someone starts talking to me, I don't register it for several seconds or sometimes not at all. Even when they call my name first, it still takes some time for...

    The movie of our lives

    There's several situations that worry me at the moment, but a few seconds ago, I got swept by "my" locker at the pool where I come to swim everyday. It looked beautiful, simple and colored coordinated. It could become an original picture of these times, not just mine, but everybody's. Like those...

    When ADD becomes embarrassing....

    I guess I need to be medically-politically correct... When ADHD (inattentive) becomes embarrassing... I guess ASD might run a hard race with ADHD in many ways. I have what professionals use to call ADD, but now it's this confusing mess where they lump it all into one bowl, mix it up, and then...
