Hi everyone, been lurking for a bit so it's probably time for an intro. I'm newly diagnosed AuDHD and the #actuallautistic community here has been a huge help to my understanding of another piece of who I am. Your guys are fantastic!

@UncoveredMyths I used them extensively on the bird app, I don't here except for pet photos. Without that one, my whole timeline seemed to fill with pet photos.

Also, to speed things up, I hide media. If I want to see a picture, I just click on the hidden media box.

I know a lot of #ActuallAutistic folks love pet pictures, but this one gets anxiety from them. I feel bad for animals being used as pets.

Is there anything worse than being in that #ADHD funk of boredom while in between hyperfixations?! The boredom is almost painful and I fecking hate it. I have every streaming app available yet still can’t find something to watch! I know the genre I wanna watch but my brain is being picky about what a show within that genre needs to have to scratch the itch. If it doesn’t have those specific criteria then my brain just refuses to pay attention. I really hate my brain sometimes. #AuDHD #ActuallAutistic #EternallyBored #BrokenBrain #NeedDopamine

I'm also a recent, late diagnosis #ActuallAutistic. I've spent the last couple of months reliving my 'previous' life through a brand new lens. I'm really struggling to come to terms with the masked person I was and can't help accusing myself of having been a fake. If I've been lying(?) to myself have I being lying to the people around me. Not a nice feeling.
