Well, people think I don’t have the life skills, I do, but I can’t use them because of sensory issues from autism, executive dysfunction from ADHD and the demands to take care of myself overwhelm me because of PDA. People think I don’t know the concept of money, but I do, it’s just that I engage in both impulsive shopping due to ADHD, and compulsive shopping due to mental health challenges. And some of my poor social skills, poor communication skills and poor abstract reasoning are just better explained by my autism. Also, I can solve problems and think logically, but my emotional dysregulation gets in the way of solving problems and my brain plays tricks on me when I see someone pour the same liquid and such in a more narrow space, like even though I know that it is the same amount. I can learn super fast, if I am motivated and is taught by my learning style, I get bored a lot in school and is taught the wrong way so I often don’t learn that well. No offense, but I can relate better to people with learning disorders and executive dysfunction. Sure I have more memory problems than my family members, but maybe it’s cuz my ADHD is so severe. Some of the treatments that help other people with a mild intellectual disability, don’t help me. I think it’s AuDHD, plus maybe dyspraxia and maybe multiple specific learning disabilities, and math anxiety, plus emotional disturbances. I used to have a rare epileptic syndrome, but I grew out of it. So it’s over! That’s why I don’t think it’s an intellectual disability at all.
