Here are some of the contradictions you may experience as an AuDHD:

  • You thrive when there’s a set routine (autistic trait), but you struggle to plan and follow a schedule (ADHD trait).

  • You get very distressed when your friend shows up late to your meeting (autistic trait), but you yourself struggle to arrive at events on time (ADHD trait).

  • You find engaging in a special interest to be soothing (autistic trait), but you also need to jump between multiple interests to keep you engaged (ADHD trait).

  • You are meticulous with your plans (autistic trait), but sometimes you overwhelm yourself by making an impulsive decision (ADHD trait).

  • When you infodump, you have a habit of speaking “too fast” (ADHD trait), but when someone asks you an unrelated question, your responses may be delayed, or you may be unable to speak (autistic trait).

@kaelynn_vp The nuance to the dual diagnosis of ASD & ADHD is that they can exacerbate symptoms when put together 😬 #autism #adhd #audhd #autistic #neurodivergent #adhdtiktok #autismawareness ♬ Classical Music - Classical Music
