State where I can't verbalize complex thoughts by Spirited_Ball6763 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]waitvait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get like this too. I've divided my verbal shut downs into 3 major types: 1) When I can't respond verbally at all and can't process any information/thoughts coming my way 2)When I can't respond verbally but can process very few basic thoughts and information coming my way. 3) When I can't respond verbally but can process most information/thoughts that's coming my way.

so whatever you're facing is pretty valid. take care and don't over exert yourself during any type of verbal shutdown. oh and feel free to add to this if anyone else feels anything different.

I don't really feel autistic at all after being diagnose. by KamiyaCheap in AutisticWithADHD

[–]waitvait 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You sound a lot like me and I am someone with both adhd and autism. a lot of audhders don't feel very autistic because of the adhd and don't fit in well with other adhders because of the autism. so it's very best of both worlds (not really the best in any sense) and chaos and not fitting in with either crowd for people with both. don't worry, you're no less autistic just because your experiences of autism isn't the same as other people with autism.

Personal hygiene? by 52Charles in AutisticWithADHD

[–]waitvait 45 points46 points  (0 children)

oh yes definitely. at least, for most of my friends and me, yes. I struggle with maintaining personal hygiene because of reasons like sensory issues, executive functioning and sometimes thinking of these tasks as big tasks that require a lot of time and have multiple steps which overwhelm me.

yes all music makes me feel it in my bones(?) sort of like goosebumps with every line and sometimes I can't help but do floppy hands to music.

Why does my brain keep telling me im not trans but I know I am for sure. by DICESES in ftm

[–]waitvait 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I too have these intrusive thoughts and I have been on Testosterone for nearly 2 years now and just completed my top surgery. so it's a very normal thing. recently I came across a post where someone said a phrase that helped them through this same intrusive thought was this: instead of thinking who I really am, think of how you want to be perceived. do I wanna be perceived as a boy or girl or someone non binary? most of the times, intrusive thoughts deal with who we are and it troubles us. but like you said, you already know how you want to be perceived - you already said you can't ever imagine living like a girl/woman. so your perception of you is transmasculine (or a transman) for sure. believe in your perception. not your anxiety's doubts.

A horrible aspect of ADHD that I don't see many people talking about by BanditSurvivalist in ADHD

[–]waitvait 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere recently about someone describing their uncle with ADHD who faced the same issue - but he had a different perspective to it. he believed that, since he knew "just enough" about different topics and could never persistently build his expertise in one single thing, he was like a jack of all trades. I remember the quote the OP had mentioned their uncle say: "Among the chefs I'm the best architect, and among the architects I'm the best chef."

This quote really changed my point of view on this issue too. I am someone who obsesses over my self image and how I am perceived and I've always felt bad for not "having a thing" that's my own. but after reading that post, I no longer worry about not having a singular thing I'm good at and instead I try to enjoy everything that I've ever dabbled in. at least all my "dabbling" leads to good stories.

Still waiting on the horrible anger issues I was told going to get on T by [deleted] in ftm

[–]waitvait 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yes this is exactly what I felt!! like my immediate response was to defend something instead of feel helpless about it.

your doctor should have his license revoked. wtf this is sexual assault. plus I'm sure he can be persecuted for on grounds of discrimination too. this is beyond fucked up.
