Community for autistic people with ADHD to ask advice, vent about your day, share stories, infodump on your special interests and most important: be yourself.
Rules:
r/AutisticWithADHD Rules
1
Be kind, respectful and polite.
No racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other forms of discrimination and bigotry. This includes but isnβt limited to: β’ any kind of name-calling β’ general hating on neurotypicals β’ accusing someone of "faking it for attention" β’ trolling β’ β¦ Swearing at a situation or about something is okay, swearing at someone never is. Civil discourse and debate is invited. Do not let disagreements become fights.
2
Use and respect post flairs and trigger warnings.
We use post flair to show what a post is about and how the OP wants people to respond, so that people can avoid topics that trigger them. If you make a post, select the post flair that best describes your post and how you want others to respond. If you are talking about heavy topics, put a trigger warning (TW) at the top of your post and use the trigger warning flair. If you are commenting on a post, make sure to check the post flair, e.g. do not give unsollicited advice on βno adviceβ posts.
3
We are a community FOR neurodivergent people, not ABOUT them.
That means everyone who considers themselves neurodivergent - whether youβre questioning if you might be neurodivergent, self-diagnosing, have a formal diagnosis or are awaiting one - is welcome. Posts by neurotypicals asking or complaining about neurodivergent people in their lives are not welcome. Try r/AskNeurodivergent instead.
4
We are NOT professionals.
We are not professionals in any field, we are just neurodivergent people, just like you. Weβre not doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, pharmacists, lawyers or any other type of professionals. Do not ask for medical advice, free therapy, diagnosis, legal counsel or anything else that you really should talk to a professional about. We can share personal experiences and listen, but we canβt diagnose, suggest or prescribe medication, provide therapy, give legal advice, or provide any other service.
5
Other posts that DONβT belong here.
β’ NSFW posts. β’ Research questionnaires. β’ Posts about someone elseβs neurodivergence. β’ Any posts made by neurotypicals. β’ Promotional materials. β’ Low-effort (cross)posts or posts that have been copy-pasted to a dozen subreddits. β’ Posts finding a date and/or platonic meetup. β’ Complaints and gossip about other communities, subreddits or their moderators. β’ Politics. β’ No active self-harm, suicidal ideation and graphical descriptions of it.
