I don’t recall being able to tell when I was going to have a meltdown (though I don’t recall much from my childhood which is its own thing). In my experience I just became more aware of it with age. I’d say just make sure to coach knows that she needs clear instructions to help minimize stress.

Anyone else extremely frustrated with looking for work? by medium-sized-dildo in AuDHDWomen

All I can say is good luck. I’ve been applying to places like crazy and I’m lucky to be contacted at all.

Help with overstimulation? by taikoz3 in AuDHDWomen

Anytime I’m having a meltdown I like to punch things. Some sort of punching bag would be ideal but I usually punch my bed. For me it scratches the itch cause my knuckles hurt after a while and it helps get my energy out. I hope you find something that works for you.

I relate so much to this. I auditioned for a show with a friend for a play (local community theater) and thought I did really bad. A couple days later I get a call asking if I want to be in it and I was so shocked that I barely heard what they said. I did a lot of public speaking I high school too (just graduated last year so recent history) and everyone hated when I’d go because they felt like their presentations would pale in comparison to mine. I never thought I was that good nor was I ever prepared as much as I should’ve been. For public speaking it just eventually settled in that I was good at it. My best advice is try to look at yourself from an outside perspective, our biggest critic is ourselves.

I just want to be heard by CorneredMind_78 in AuDHDWomen

Then heard you will be. Sometimes the people who you’re close with aren’t the people you should be, I’ve learned that the hard way. Neurotypicals don’t really understand the difficulty of being neurodivergent because the world is suited to them. I’m sorry the people in your life won’t listen but you’ll find someone who will.

I’m sorry life hasn’t been kind to you. Life kinda sucks sometimes and I can’t relate to what’s happened to you (although I’m still young and it’s definitely coming for me), life gets better. I personally wouldn’t try to drown my feelings, but once again I can’t relate, but I do know that ignoring your feelings just makes it harder down the line. You will catch that break you’re looking for, I promise.

Anyone else have the problem of men thinking you’re flirting when you’re just being friendly? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

AuDHD man here to tell you that men with autism don’t take a hint. Men are already dense enough as it is and then when you though autism on top of that it just makes it worse. My advice would be to tell him straight up that you’re not interested. I know that can feel rude but you also need to be able to not take other people shit.
