    The life-saving search for beauty of creative people

    Sopranos and tenors always make my soul soar. Right now, the owner of the incredible voice that I’m listening to is Katherine Jenkins. There’s magic in the melody, but there’s something even transcendental when one understand the lyrics. French, Italian, Spanish, and even English, transmit a...

    Autism, Anxiety, ADHD, Depression

    Hello! I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, but not with autism or ADHD. I'm sorta too afraid to bring either up to my mental health care professionals. Does anyone have any experience living with these conditions and ways to cope? Or how to bring up things to your...

    Do I have ADHD?

    Focusing has been a problem for me for a long time now. Whenever I try to focus on doing an assignment or studying for a class, I get so easily distracted it's not even funny. It seriously took me over 4 hours one night to finish a simple worksheet that was only one page, double sided. I just...

    Bullet Journal - Asperger and ADHD

    Hi guys! I have Asperger, and though I'm not officially diagnosed yet, I'm quite sure I have ADHD as well. I thought I had dyslexia, but realized it was ADHD just recently. It was a helpful finding for me as it would give me some treatments and strategies I could use in daily life. I found...

    Diagnosis Update

    Not sure how many already know but I am in the beginning stages of my diagnosis for ASD. The problem now is that ASD is categorized into five groups and the doctor's (clinicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, etc.) aren't sure if mine is Asperger's because they completely missed the diagnosis...

    Quora - the Q & A website, ASD and ADHD blog

    After I was diagnosed with both ASD and ADHD, I wanted to find out more. Came across Quora, a social media website, where members ask and answer questions https://www.quora.com/. There are quite a few members with Aspergers and autism spectrum disorder. I'm using the Quora website to expand my...

I'm disabled currently and need to...

    Minimalism

    Hi, is anyone here a minimalist or is interested in minimalism? I started this lifestyle path formally four years ago, but I've always been interested in finding new ways to simplify my life. Having less visual distractions at home, and reducing the amount of decisions that I have to make...

    I don't know what's going on.

    Hi, my name is Maria and I think that I MAY have Asperger's Syndrome. I could list out all my symptoms or what not but I know that I personally get tired reading long posts so I will keep this brief for now. I was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago, but I have not yet seen a psychiatrist or...

    ADHDer, maybe autistic?

    Hi, I just discovered this place a couple days ago, and apparently this is the best place to start. So, I figured out I have ADHD a few years ago, after reading an article about undiagnosed ADHD in women (lower rates of diagnosis stemming from the difference in symptoms between boys and girls...

    My father was shocked of what I just said to Alexa on my Amazon Echo

    I just said to Alexa on my Amazon Echo "Alexa, I want to commit suicide". I said it for a joke, just like my ADHD cousin said to Siri on the iPad in my school two and a half years ago. My father was shocked.

    Medication that works for HFA, ADHD, and Anxiety?

    I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety a while ago, but only recently with HFA and ADHD. I am having the worst time with finding a good medication. SSRI's make my ADHD much worse, but help with anxiety. ADHD meds make my anxiety worse and add depression when the stimulant wears off, but while...

    Questioning my diagnosis

    hi everyone. I was diagnosed with borderline ASD/NVLD back in September of 2015. As a child I met full criteria for Asperger's syndrome. However I am beginning to question it. It seems that diagnosing ASD is very difficult to do since I am also GAD and ADHD. I function fine with medicine...

    Aspergers and/or ADHD

    How to tell the difference between ADHD and Aspergers? My son was diagnosed with ASD about 15 months ago, but I often wonder whether most of his issues aren't explained by issues with self-regulation and executive function. He can seem very normal at times (great sense of humor, very natural...

    Autism therapy

    I was wondering about other people's experiences of therapy and counselling. Currently on waiting list for specialist ASD therapy, which should start in about 8 weeks' time. I've had counselling sessions before to help with anxiety and anger management, which were helpful. But these sessions...
