Does anyone know good and especially cheap therapists who do online therapy for ADHD?
Hello. I was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago already (I was 35 back then), but since then I’m only with medical treatment, in other words, with medication. This medication can keep my ADHD symptoms under control, at a degree. But it does absolutely nothing against my executive dysfunction and my focus issues, and I don’t...

Quick background: I live in a house with my sibling and their parents. My sibling is not legally or biologically related to me, but they ARE my sibling. My sibling’s parents are not my parents, but we are collectively a ‘family,’ in many senses of the word. I call my sibling’s parents “the Elders of Plumley” as...

What’s your favourite ‘how to survive a neurotypical workplace’ resource?
About feeling over stimulated.
I (M, 46, ASD1) have been feeling very overstimulated today. Everything has me on edge and everything is too much (this isn’t the first time I have felt this). I want to say I have a headache and call it a day, but that isn’t it this is that different thing. I mean if I am honest it’s going to cause me to have a headache...

How do you deal with disability discrimination at work?
I’m looking for a little advice because I’m feeling pretty lost. Without going too far into it, my manager at work is using things that she knows are part of my disability, autism, to give others a negative impression of my work performance and conduct, and causing me to be disciplined. I believe she’s trying to have me...
How do you prevent burnout at work?
I have a friend with ADHD who is struggling with burnout at work right now, and I realized the same thing has happened to me (autism) at pretty much every job I’ve had before my current one. After a while (a few months to a few years) the workplace politics becomes unbearable, or culture becomes too toxic, or managers straight...
I just deleted my 8 year old reddit account
This is a bit of a vent, I’m sorry in advance. I’m still a little bit triggered honestly. If this type of post doesn’t fit for this community I apologize, I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this....

What's your chosen diet as someone with ADHD/Autism
I’ve tried a lot of diets, and I have a lot of trouble committing and maintaining structure. I eat out every day. I don’t exercise much. I’m having trouble with willpower fasting. Still I think the most “ADHD friendly” way of dieting is likely fasting. It requires little practical restructuring of ones life, just...
