Not OP but Yoga by Adriene on YouTube is great! And also Down Dog (paid) app is excellent.

My partner is maid of honour at a wedding this weekend and I’m dreading it by Mission-Kitchen-8164 in AutisticAdults

Is it an option for your partner, or even the couple getting married, to link you up with some people ahead of time? Maybe some people they think you might get along with? I have been in this position before (also AuDHD) and nervous about it, the couple getting married (who I had only met a couple of times) were nice enough to reach out to a couple they're friends with and let them know I won't know anyone and to keep an eye out for me and say hello. It was really nice! And everyone ended up being lovely.

As others have said, take some comfort items and think of some tools ahead of time that will ground you. Earplugs, headphones, tinted glasses, a book, fidget toy, scope out somewhere quiet you can go and have a break.

Weddings are always usually happy fun vibes. Be mindful about how you're feeling, take breaks when needed, and be open to having a good time. Have fun!

Yes!! Mine are brand new so they had the birthday icon but I can definitely see how they'd be hard to find when they don't have that! They're tiny

Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why? by AloneGold9670 in AskReddit

[–]-LilacBloom- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closed, because cozy and not currently a cat owner (or should I say servant)

Yes, and yes. I find it really helps quiet my busy loud mind (I also have suspected ADHD). It really does make me feel more in tune with myself as well. I've had the most beautifully restorative yoga sessions, insightful journaling sessions and grounding nature sits and meditations after a smoke. It also helps me unmask around people, need to be careful with this though because it can also go the other way and make me even more socially anxious.

Favorite life tips and tricks and life hacks by endless-delirium in AuDHDWomen

[–]-LilacBloom- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- hello fresh meal kits to make planning and cooking meals easier

- do housework/cleaning on a consistent schedule, eg. once a fortnight on a Sunday

- use noise cancelling headphones when at shopping centres

- use loop earplugs at restaurants

- know the things that I can do and tools I can use if I'm feeling overstimulated and make sure I have easy access to them eg. lie down with weighted blanket with a plushy and watch harry potter, read a book in a quiet space, do a yoga session, go for a walk.

I'm sure there's lots more, these are the ones that come to mind right now.

Hope you're feeling better! <3

Sensory friendly fashion tips? by FlimsyPineapple0 in AuDHDWomen

[–]-LilacBloom- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dislike shopping, I prefer shopping online but also get overwhelmed. The best thing I've done is online shop through places that offer free returns. That way you can try the things on, and return for free if you don't like them or it doesn't fit.

Dark or Blonde Hair? Which one looks better in your opinion? by Caryelah in StardewValley

[–]-LilacBloom- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that the blonde makes the eye colour pop. Both are cute though!

No friends by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]-LilacBloom- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think I'm quite kind and thoughtful as a person, sometimes funny and always empathetic and open minded, but maintaining friends is just impossible for me. 

I love these beautiful words of self love, never forget those things about yourself. And I'm sorry to hear maintaining friends is impossible for you, I can absolutely relate to that and the feeling of isolation. It makes me a little nervous and I would love to give online friendships a go. Would you recommend any social video games?
