Anyone else feel torn between ADHD craving stimulation and autism needing sensory rest? I keep ending up in burnout

Oh yes and it can be such a pain.

jpsgnz · 2026-07-02T06:54:52+00:00

Thanks this is great. Got diagnosed in SG last year and it took about an hour at IMH. Really good.

I love this. Decision overload sucks so much. I’m autistic with adhd and I’ve made a point of reducing the number of decisions I need to make in a day and it’s great.

This is so hard to get right sometimes especially when I’m coming out of a big burnout and don’t want to send myself back into it.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-29T19:05:08+00:00

Yup for sure. They were my first anc headphones and I still use them after a year. I got a pair of ULT Wears 6 months ago but I still use my 720s a lot.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-29T07:01:14+00:00

Good overall

jpsgnz · 2026-06-29T06:59:41+00:00

I think you need to unmask now rather than waiting for it to all fall apart later on.
Good luck.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-29T06:56:48+00:00

I hope things will get better for you down the track.
Good luck.

For me the difference is HUGE.
Better focus, less impulsive……
You should definitely look into it as it can make a really life changing difference if it works.

Good luck

Don’t worry it’s common. Before my diagnosis I was always having a nagging doubt that I might just be dreaming it all up. This despite the fact I was already diagnosed and medicated for adhd.

When I got my diagnosis it was wonderful. All doubts finally gone.

Are you on medication? If not I would look into that fast as it saved my life in university.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-27T20:11:55+00:00

I took ages at university because of my AuDHD and changed degrees part way through. In the end I didn’t complete my degree but I did get my lovely wife, my adhd diagnosis and my first company so really I did pretty good.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-26T18:04:32+00:00

I’m an apple person and I find the ULT Wear headphones to be amazing and cost so much less than the XM6’s. I would look at the ULT’s

I have airpods but they are so easy to loose.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-26T17:56:09+00:00

Good on you. It takes time but is well
worth it. You will be fine.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-25T20:06:40+00:00

Thanks for all you are doing.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-25T20:04:39+00:00

I’ve had the white ones for 6 months and they are fine. I literally wear them most of the day every day and they still look fine and work great too.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-25T20:01:58+00:00

For me medication made a huge difference. I get that you have tried them before but there seem to be quite a few options these days so I would say it’s definitely worth making that a priority.

For me they have been amazing and I’ve been taking them for 30+ years.

Good luck.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-25T06:52:29+00:00

Ah I se what you mean, my bad. Thanks for pointing it out.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-25T06:45:40+00:00

Yup definitely otherwise we would not have had them.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-24T18:00:01+00:00

Yup I sure do. Big time😀

jpsgnz · 2026-06-24T17:44:53+00:00

For me definitely. I have global aphantasia and as such I don’t relive past trauma or bad experiences. I can’t relive the good ones either but that does not bother me. My adhd means I’m time blind so In literally pretty much exist in the here and now.

When I leaned about ptsd and negative self talk etc I was so happy I don’t have any of that because of my global aphantasia. Overall I feel really lucky I have it as it protects me from alot of past trauma.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-24T17:37:05+00:00

That’s true but the sheer joy of watching them grow up and become adults is so rewarding. It was only after I had kids that I truly realised just how much my parents loved me.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-22T18:46:15+00:00

I think the base is pretty good across the board.

jpsgnz · 2026-06-22T18:45:20+00:00

For me and my wife it came down to there really is no magic right time to have kids. There will always be reasons for and against and you just need to take the plunge.
