I’m curious to see the types of jobs and work fields that us audhders thrive in since a lot of jobs usually just end up burning us out....

I can’t work on maths problems: by the time I key a calculation into my calculator I’ve forgotten what I was actually calculating....

Sorry in advance for the wall of text! Some background…...

This finding demonstrates that ASD + ADHD is neither an endophenocopy nor an additive pathology of ASD and ADHD, but an entirely different neuroanatomical pathology. In addition, ASD + ADHD displayed altered GM volume asymmetries in the prefrontal regions responsible for executive function and theory of mind compared with...

A black and white image of a black wolf and white wolf looking at each other with what looks to be the Sun or Moon behind them.

Welcome I’m back on my BS 🤪...

I find it so hard to find anyone compatible. I’m basically slowing down my dating efforts because it just makes me miserable. Are there any success stories out there? Common personality types that pair surprisingly well? Anything?

This one speaks to me on multiple levels....

As an experiment: Just some good news…...

“No, I don’t really want to discuss the sword right now.”

I can relate… If it is worth doing, it must be done 100% right, first try, zero margin for error, no rehearsals, no practise round....
