Autism, ADHD, AuDHD

Autism, ADHD, AuDHD

April is Autism Awareness. This combined with some recent discussions about how different things under the wide umbrella on Autism, ADHD or AuDHD can impact on daily life I’ve started this thread which features some of these daily challenges.

(I was hoping to have easily shared reels/videos on a FB site where a lot of this information is from. Due to the forums being anonymous, all attempts to share via links have been unsuccessful. I have/am manually typed the information contained within each video.)

@moderator please move to a more appropriate location, if required

Some reasons autism may not be diagnosed in females until they are adults


I worked in early childhood education between 2003 and 2009. And the warning signs they looked for included obsession with trains and mathematical concepts. And certain behaviours which mostly show up in certain demographics

It's under diagnosed in low socio economic groups, people of colour etc. Pretty much anyone other than white collar family white boys

Re: Autism, ADHD, AuDHD

I’m in a lot of physical pain today @Blackcloud

majority of my joints far from happy

Lot of rain plus drop in temperatures last couple days are bad combination for my OA.

heat packs helping a little bit

next step, small electric blanket

End of next month before next infusion of pain relief meds

Hoping today is kind to you 💜

Re: Autism, ADHD, AuDHD

oh i'm sorry to hear that you're in physical pain at the moment @Flutterbug9 😞

i hope that the small electric blanket you plan to use next can at least help you with the pain. that sucks that the heat packs haven't helped very much. i hope that as time passes that you're no longer in pain ❤️
