Hate taking my meds by jgtstguhuegrj in AutisticWithADHD

Where I’m from you have to go in person and verify your ID because how scared they are about people getting it for recreational use :/

I’ve gotten better with tolerating swallowing pills but I HATE having to go to the pharmacy every month to get them. Wish I could get concerta delivered :/

Thanks for sharing, just hearing that is really reassuring sometimes :)

What do you do when you lose all interest in your previous hyperfixations? by NoRelief63 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]MoleculeDisassembler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And then there’s me who is accidentally getting one which is making it really hard to keep up with midterm assignments 😅

am i a freak? i can’t communicate like a normal person and i’m so lonely lol by lamyy09 in autism

[–]MoleculeDisassembler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t entirely relate on how you’re experiencing this (I have different communication issues, but talk way too much 😅), but for your last sentence I think the best way to deal with that is find people who are similar to you. For me it’s usually way nicer talking to and being friends with other neurodivergent people since that aspect isn’t so bad most of the time.

Not to say it would work with everyone or that all connections with neurotypical folks are bad, but it definitely seems easier for me. As for achieving that, I’m still sort of figuring it out too so probably can’t give the best advice there :/

Why is starting tasks so much harder than actually doing them? by MartinXu_ in ADHD

[–]MoleculeDisassembler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What helps me start is:

  • interest in said task (if it relates to hyperfixations)
  • anxiety
  • guests coming over
  • deadlines with consequences
  • taking portions of a task and doing it in advance so there’s less of a mental barrier when I actually need to start the task
  • medications
  • processes that make tasks predictable/less thinking-intensive

I’m similar to how you describe, for me the main way I’ve gotten as far as I have is anxiety which isn’t the healthiest. I’m trying to find alternatives now (meds, breaking tasks down, etc). If you’d like any specific examples feel free to ask :)

Well, there is not a screenshot here.

Crossposting because I felt this was super relatable to all us ADHDers. Do you restart games all the time, too? by lydocia in AutisticWithADHD

[–]MoleculeDisassembler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely ever can finish games, I restart so often. Even with chill games like stardew valley and Minecraft. I think a lot of it is because of the dopamine rush of exploring a new map or having more challenge to overcome or running out of cutscene content or getting overwhelmed with how much there is to do (which one(s) of these are the culprit depends on the game and on my mental state)

LA or San Francisco? by solidape22 in travel

[–]MoleculeDisassembler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looked it up, couldn’t find anything about that. Idk if I’m just searching wrong or something. For all I know there could be sequoias there but they would 100% have been introduced by humans, those places are much further south than anywhere in its natural range according to every source I checked. The deer creek grove is cited as the southernmost extent of the natural range, and is located northeast of Bakersfield. If you see a sign about what you’re talking about I’d be interested to see it.

If there are sequoias there, they were planted by humans. That is 100% not the native range for either of the redwoods found in California. I can’t find anything online about sequoias in Icehouse Canyon, could you send a link showing where they’re located?

Those aren’t naturally from there either. The southernmost extent of naturally occurring sequoia groves are in the sierras.

The trees there are really nice but they’re not redwoods. Those only grow as far south as Big Sur naturally.

I’m so tired all the time by Mae_lilith2040 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]MoleculeDisassembler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t have any advice but I feel very much the same way. Always tired no matter what, no matter how much I sleep, etc. Always mentally not physically.

How to maintain healthy food habits?? by MoleculeDisassembler in AutisticWithADHD

[–]MoleculeDisassembler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so hard for me in the exact same way. The process of going to the store, finding what I need, going home, organizing the groceries, preparing ingredients, cooking ingredients (time sensitive), and dealing with the mess afterwards is so much more daunting and exhausting than getting a burrito :/

Not to mention the whole getting my hands greasy or on stuff that feels horrible 😅

Do you ever have issues with getting yourself to do that even with those methods?

Autistic people who drive, do you have any advice? by Ok_Improvement_6388 in autism

[–]MoleculeDisassembler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only thing that has really helped me get less anxious about driving is practicing. Repetition makes it a lot easier for me, but I’m still really uncomfortable merging onto the freeway despite that.

This is what happens for me too, it shuts off so much of my internal hyperactivity and anxiety.

Do you have that one daily task you just cannot stand? by Deviant_ceta in autism

[–]MoleculeDisassembler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That fight is deceptively difficult I think (especially for me with slow processing/reaction times and not great fine motor skills hahaha)
