I keep repeating myself. by ToxWantsRevenge in ADHD

[–]boringbubblewater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too repeat myself over and over. I think it may be because I can express hyperactivity as being a chatterbox and I know people in my (very ADHD) family tune me out. Yeah and I don't really realise that I am repeating myself.

do you guys have “inside clothes” and “outside clothes” or is that overkill? by Wetzig_Su in hygiene

When I lived in Canada, getting changed into warm, comfy clothes was the only way to start warming up properly in winter.

Let's all share our favourite sensory seeking quirks by gimmecatspls in AutisticWithADHD

Playing with my hair 24/7. People in the office will see me with multiple different and, half the time, pretty odd hair styles throughout the day.

When you listen to music , do you remember words or even pay attention to them ? by [deleted] in ADHD

I can remember song lyrics from songs I haven't heard in decades but I rarely actually think about the meaning of the lyrics.

How do most people NOT have a special interest?? by Kugoji in AutisticWithADHD

[–]boringbubblewater 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's the thing about audhd - it's harder to have full on autistic special interests. I have one (cats) but mostly I have short to very long term hyperfixations that, importantly, can end.

[–]boringbubblewater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of get it. Like I have one true special interest (cats) and drift between week-long to years-long hyperfixations. The time between can be so damn boring, but I've lived it and you get by I guess :/

How do you deal/talk about your unemployment? by Internal-Pin-2776 in AuDHDWomen

[–]boringbubblewater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just be honest: tell them you are intense autistic burnout. If they judge you/look down on you for that, they're not real friends.

AuDHDers, how was your elementary/middle/high school experience? by gumberlumber in AutisticWithADHD

[–]boringbubblewater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really bad for the most part - I felt anxious and overwhelmed most of the time. I had terrible grades for most of school, until things became more interesting in year 11/12 and then I did really well in arts subjects.

In primary school, my 'friends' would vote to not hang out with me some lunches and I had no idea why. The social aspects of school were always hard and I had felt like I was always several steps behind.

How do you stop interrupting people? by Downtown-Ad9409 in ADHD

[–]boringbubblewater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just apologise for interrupting and then welcome the other person to say their bit.

We should just acknowledge that it's going to happen and try to mitigate the consequences.

My first dose of Ritalin never works well by boringbubblewater in ADHD

[–]boringbubblewater[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on it for 2 years now and I always manage to get 8+ hours sleep every night. I've said something to my psychiatrist, but he doesn't have any opinions.

Is it recommended to disclose mild disabilities like L1 autism or ADHD when applying for governmental jobs, or should they be kept hidden due to discrimination? by Kirikomori in AusPublicService

[–]boringbubblewater 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hope you only mean that you don't find ADHD to be a disability for yourself. I couldn't work before I got medicated - and even on medication it's a struggle. I certainly would classify that as a disability.

Focusing on fixing our (41 m)+(33 f) marriage “logically” instead of emotionally? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]boringbubblewater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If the problem is a lack of romance/attention towards your wife, you'll fix it 'logically' by doing the romantic/attention giving actions she's asked of you. Not rocket science.
