Just found out I'm autistic. Pretty sure I'm ADHD too...

Welcome to the jungle baby!

Then you get medicated and you realise that even when you do things shit still takes time to do.

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah. Adderall gives me the drive, but not the motivation. Video games still usually win over chores.

Even when diagnosed with medicine, I sometimes struggle to remember to eat it.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

37 actually

This one hits hard...

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's similar to my experience with getting diagnosed in my early 30s (after forgetting about a childhood diagnosis with no treatment). Missing from the statement is the profound impact to self-esteem from being incapable of doing things that one should be readily capable of and being told that one needs to "apply themselves", as well as the emotional self-harm from judging oneself by neurotypical standards.

Also, good seeing you posting again, Stamets. Hope things are going well.

Fuck don't say this, I'm 30

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Imagine going untreated even a decade after that

Diagnosed at 42....

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I'm 30..and even medicated it's hell

This one hurts.

Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. The bane of every project, started or not.

I'm autistic, so it's not a one-for-one; but some similarities to ADHD, and what's worked for me, is exercise.

Walk 10000 steps a day and go to the gym 3 days a week and lift as heavy as you can.

Use the GZCLP program and you're golden.

Plus, you get healthier AND you'll look better naked.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

+1 for GZCLP. Of all the beginner programs out there, this one resonates best with everyone I've introduced it to.

Guess you're pretty confident to get that done this year. Right? 😁

[–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

true, but also -- 46

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

been cleaning that basement tomorrow for 4 years now.

even started it twice.

As someone who finally got diagnosed at nearly 30, this hurts. Fuck, I've wasted so much of my life.

[–] Rageagainstbelief@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

43 but we are getting my son tested he’s 11 there were signs even when he was very young. I feel a little guilty we didn’t do it earlier.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

You're doing it now. That's enough. 👊

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I've just accepted that that's never going to be something I can do and that existence is pointless and miserable and I'm not capable of doing anything more than killing time till I die

[–] Jojowski@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

34! I was hoping one day I'd figure out what to do in life and through that knowledge everything would just click into place and things would feel good and right and worth doing. Turns out the answer to life's great mystery is amphetamine.
