I thought I had ADHD but then I got tested and I have high functioning autism


What kind of tools / treatments have you used / learned afterwards to deal with your ADHD like symtoms?


I’m actually super organized and can hyperfocus.

I have emotional regulation issues. Abilify (medication), yoga, and running. Those keep me centered, reduce my (embarrassing) adult tantrums.

Social skills are the hardest part for me. I can read emotions but trying to understand people’s motivations is as complex as tracking bugs for me. It just doesn’t come naturally.

tl;dr exercise tho
