I had carefully approached, settled down, and the ducks seemed to be less evasive.<br>I got out my camera, and in calm and practiced motions put on the sun hood, removed the lens cap, released the zoom lock, went to maximum focal length, and checked the settings.

Dave the Nomad 🇨🇦<p>I was diagnosed with inattentive type ADHD, which led to learning about Autism and finally self-identifying as Autistic.</p><p>I made a conscious decision not to seek a professional diagnosis, because I'm comfortable enough with my self-dx and I don't believe a professional diagnosis would impact my life.</p><p>That being said, after this latest bout of hyperfixation, I'm feeling more motivated to talk to my doctor and see if I can get a referral to a psychiatrist. Not necessarily to confirm being Autistic, but to rule out or identify other things.</p><p>I've also been off of my ADHD meds because I don't find they make a difference. I'm not confident I actually have ADHD. Those symptoms are the worst when I'm feeling overstimulated and burned out.</p><p>That being said, I'm wondering if stimulants would make a difference when I'm in hyperfixation mode. I wonder if they'd help me regulate my attention and disengage more easily.</p><p><a href="https://autisticnomad.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autisticnomad.social/tags/Neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://autisticnomad.social/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://autisticnomad.social/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a></p>

Verđandi K. Soldusty<p>Okay, what happened? I had breakfast, did chores, dragged myself out for a walk, let myself stop three times to look for a long audio cable before getting home, having lunch followed by hanging the washing & now it's nearly teatime 😳?<br>Unless I want to still be up at 03:00 I'd better cancel my afternoon plans.<br>This, this is why I'm mostly frustrated. I need to lock my chores up & only let them out once a week or something 🤷 but it always feels like herding cats. There's always one that's urgent or needs doing before tomorrow, plus I don't fancy tackling seven days of washing up. Where would I put the second half of it?😵💫</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autistic</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyADHD</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a></p>

Because of <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> I have deep special interests, but because of <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> those interests cycle. If I spend a job amount of time on one, I lose interest and motivation until I focus on one of the others for a while. There are things that I would love to pursue, career-wise, but don't because experience has shown what will happen. It's frustrating, and I would love some solution to it.</p>

The problem is that autists usually also have exective function problems, but more due to distraction from overstimulation and fixation on details (due to how your brain is wired) rather than having chronically low dopamine in the prefrontal cortex as those of us with adhd. And of course it's possible to have both things at the same time which really muddies the waters.</p>
