Im 19, uni student rn, people around my age is starting to get their first job at fast food shops, waiters and baristars even while being on uni. I havent had a real job before. All I did was designing someones website page and getting paid a little online.

I know i am not meant to be a waiter chatting with customers, however, isn't that kind of part time jobs part of adulting? If I can't survive under those part time jobs how else can i survive at other jobs?

I want to ask other autistic/aspergers people who had or have a job, how was it and how satisfactory is it considering autistic symptoms such as hyper sensitivity and social struggles.

The fact that this world is all about socialisation, networking is crazy

No one knows autism can happen unless youre a nonverbal kid or has severe intellectual disability here.

No clinic does autism assessment for adults, theres only treatment and assessment for autistic kids, what do i do genuinely ?

I am diagnosed with adhd, sometimes I get hyperfixations about specific foods and hobby for few weeks and they fade away.

​

However aside that I have interests that lasts years, when I was younger I had a niche interests of memorizing pokemon numbers and types but when I turned 13 or so I lose spark about them and one day I was into parrot biology and it still persist.

​

Those feel like hyperfixations but different. Is it possible for adhd to get long lasting hyperfixations or they are part my normal interests and not considered hyperfixations?

Hello im 19m and my mum(49F) was told they found a big ovarian cyst, not cancer but needs to be removed via laparoscopic surgery due to its size. They also told her right ovary should be removed so cysts wont grow back. I am very relieved that it is not cancer yet im also worried about the surgery, especially it removes her right ovary.

She has her period cycles, I heard that even after her right ovary got removed her left ovary would do its job so her hormones would be okay, but I'm just worried the removal process would be exhausting yk, she is very healthy woman and thats probably the biggest surgery in her life. She also has no more plans for kids so that would be not the case.

She'll be at the hospital for like a week, but shes also getting sickies leave from her job for a month. Is there anything I should be aware about this or something, something she should avoid after surgery or something please let me know. I wanna support her the biggest

Ive been diagnosed with adhd, had sensory issue for my whole life, few yrs ago I started taking concerta and it kinda made my sensory issue worse. Told my psychiatrist and she prescribed me 1 mg of abilify, she also told me sensory issue has no meds but abilify COULD help some people with it. Would they work? I also want to know concerta makes my dopamine level higher but since abilify is antipsychotics won't it make my concerta less effective? If someone had experiences with abilify specifically for sensory issues pls let me know.

I feel awkward a lot in communication and I want to know if adhders had smiliar experiences or I might have unknown communication problems.

I figured out that I am constantly thinking too much of what to say or what to do in situation. I think I am being too conscious of what people think, see, feel about me.

That led me to talk about assumption rather than a real emotion of mine.

My friend talked to me about her trauma and I tell her what she probably wants to hear. That must've been so hard, you deserve so much better, im glad you are here, all those didn't come from deep inside of my heart. And I feel weird about faking my words.

I want to stop making assumptions and rather actually talk to people but it's hard.

Could it be hyperactivity of adhd? I am only diagnosed with adhd combined type and depression, but it was when I was 13 or so my depression got a lot better. I am taking concerta around 40mg a day.
