A woman gave a talk on this at a mental health group I attend. It took her to the edge and she wrote her husband a note saying she could t go on

Thank you for this. Similar story. Found out I was adhd a few years ago and loads of autism stuff is relatable but not all, I think a lot of the adhd covers symptoms and also learning coping mechanism to compensate 😅 always social anxiety though for sure and definitely sensory issues but I mostly am pretty good at picking up on how people are feeling and reading them that way (but this also could be bc of growing up hyper vigilant and covering up some of that idk)

15:54 OMGG ME TOO!! i hate smells and even chosing dedorant that i could stand was hard.

I was addicted to porn, and i was getting porn like scenarios for children in my mind, like how women act in porn and have stuff on their faces and my brain makes me think about these things for children, its disgusting i dont like it and i hate it..

Wow this video is INCREDIBLY helpful for me. I am waiting on my results for my autism assessment right now, I find out in 9 days and I am diagnosed ADHD. Psychology is my #1 “special interest” and has been for a long time, and autism has become my new hyper fixation so I have been consuming SO MUCH content about it for weeks now and your video is the one that has blown my mind because we are so freaking similar. I have been diagnosed with basically everything by different psychiatrists and BPD was a big one that I truly believed was my issue for a long time. But I’m starting to realize that that may not be the case. I feel like my ADHD has always masked my (suspected) autism and I finally got on ADHD medication at the age of 21 and I started really noticing the autism coming out after taking medication for a while. I don’t think I would have ever known unless I got on ADHD medication, which has been a life saver btw lol. I’m so anxious to find out my results and I keep doubting myself and wondering if I could just be making this up in my head but when I look back on the social difficulties of my childhood and present day I can’t truly ignore all the things that pop up. I could go on and on with a tangent so I will stop myself now lol but thank you so much for this video. I have related to the experiences of most of the autistic women I have come across online but your video resonated with me deeply and I feel like I’m listening to myself when you talk about your experience so that makes me feel a little less crazy :,)

I had a for almost 5 months and it’s 70% gone by itself after feeling it’s weird that I started to notice. Things that’s already in my vision field 😅, it’s just an idea on the head that persistently tells you to focus on peripheral vision after the idea comes to your mind and start noticing object peripherally you start panicking , i just started to teatch myself that things on my vision whether I focus on or not they are their

What meds work best for OCD ?

UHM, THIS VIDEO IS WAYY TOO RELATABLE LOL UHAISBHCUAJBSKCBASHLCJ,SA. MY MEDS SUPPRESS MY ADHD AND MAKE ME ABLE TO TALK TO PEOPLE, THIS IS LITERALLY MY EXACT EXPERIENCE OAISHBCUASKJBCABSUHCKSACASUQHIYUGK. THERE'S NO SHOT IM ROMANIAN TOO.

I have been diagnosed with POCD for over a week now. It is destroying my psyche. Everyday i have unwanted sexual thoughts that include children, and it feels horrible. I would never do something like that. There are forceful voices in my head putting all sorts of thoughts which, like what if you do this while imaging children, it will make you feel good etc etc, but it is somewhat controllable . I am scared , really really scared , i cant even look at my brother in the eye anymore. it is killing me from inside. These voices are growing more and more intense. Everything i do , every move i make.....it grows stronger . I need help . The only time when these voices go down is when im in front of the tv, that too very slightly ....It is killing me from inside .

Enjoying the channel. Thank you.

What if I DID do something AWFUL when I was 12 ?? Now 22 going through this never bothered me back then till now

Yeah, that's what my house looks like... thanks for including this.

Hellu, I'd be soo interested in a video about schizophrenia OCD:)

God, I used to love to do what u are doing as stimming. Jesus Christ... that used to be so good. I miss it

the talking is the best part for me, and the random singing. its comforting bc this is how my brain works as well haha. if I have your thoughts in my ears I don't get distracted by my own :))))))

thank you so much for this!! I watch peach's video over and over, I love it so much. your other vid like this was recommended, and I'm audhd as well so I'm super happy I found another that works well for me. I've gotten so much done today. <3 hope you are having a good day :)

I can't keep watching that first few seconds where you re being very natural 🤣

It sucks that you are going through these tricky issues, with finding work and being diagnosed and all......But your hair looks kool asf! 😃

I have been brought up in a Romanian family as well, and the pressure of having a child that fits in the norms is huge, especially for girls. Just as you were saying, being self-conscious ever since I was conscious, I can relate so much to this. I am now at a point in my life where I have been studying about autism and doing tests, because I suspect that I might have it, but I have never been to a therapist in my life as this was regarded as "having a problem" or just exaggerating. Now I live in the UK and I am seriously thinking on getting checked, to get that question answered - "How do i behave like a normal person to fit in at this moment, without seeming awkward?". I don't want to self-diagnose, as this is not fair on people that actually have it. So I feel a bit guilty to go get checked, because I might just have a lot of anxiety or find it exhausting to interact in social settings, which occurs in other people who are not autistic. ❤Your video is very helpful, and gave me the confidence to get myself checked. No matter the result, at least I will clear that doubt that I have every time I encounter the question of: "How do i behave like a normal person to fit in at this moment, without seeming awkward?

That kitchen is like entering the gates of hell! 😵

I missed the first 2 symptoms because I got distracted 😂

This was so helpful!! My house was a disaster and I feel like I'm half done with the tidying. Still need to actually clean after that. Thank you!!

I love my creativity and my imagination, but unfortunately any meds I’ve ever taken have always cut down on that. And now I’m under a lot of stress which is cutting down on that. I’m still choosing not to be medicated, but the harder it becomes to get a job….the more I wonder if maybe it’s worth dulling down my emotions and creative side and my obsessions and special interests to function in a capitalist world. 😢 I’VE ALWAYS LOVED HOW DIFFERENT MY BRAIN IS AND I DON’T WANT TO CHANGE IT BECAUSE “SOCIETY” SAYS I DON’T FIT IN.

I attribute "thinking outside the box" to bottom-up thinking. Not assuming established norms to be flawless without re-examining them and seeing what role they can play in differing situations.

Thank you so so so much for inspiring me to go back and look at my childhood photos. I don't think I would've done that until I found your video and you showed us your pictures. That made me wonder "what did I do as a child?". I feel like doing this step changed so much for me. I kept feeling lost and not knowing who I was anymore, but going back and looking at those, talking to people about what I did as a child gave so so so much needed clarity. So thank you so much for inspiring me to do that. 💙

Watching this while cleaning my depression apartment. Things are too much right now. This seems like it’s helping.

three years late but thank you so so so much for sharing your experience with this 🫶 OCD can be such an isolating and lonely condition and you’ve made so many people feel less alone with this video including me. i’ve been struggling with OCD for nearly three years and sometimes i feel like i should just give up…so you saved a life today 💛

Your videos are great, you're great, I hope the results for your sister's charity are great.

OMG. same thing with the perfume. so glad someone else is talking about it!!! Also, it took me FUREVER to kinda... grasp fully that not all people squint when its sunny?? I'm still kind of in disbelief how people can handle that. I don't have sensitive eyes, a lot of my art includes eyestrain/bright colors, but sunlight? Can't do it man. Especially if its overcast and the clouds are reflecting all of the sunlight downwards. omg. ANYWAYS, very amazing and informative video. I've already shared it around and I'm not even quite halfway through :D You've brought up a lot of amazing points!

It made me so happy to see you allow yourself to stim while filming instead of forcing it down, and being so calm about it. It feels good to see people who talk like me 🥹. I'm always forcing myself to stop moving and then I lose my train of thought.

I have gotten my autism diagnosis at 24 aswell, but i have suspected adhd too (my mom and other family members have it). The sad thing is that i have have been rejected the diagnosis by my phsychologist because they think the autism diagnosis is sufficent for now, even tho im truly struggeling in my day to day. I guess its harder for girls to get the diagnosis :((

Thank you for making this, being neurodivergent can feel heavy sometime so I’m glad you’re highlighting the positive aspects given they sometimes get lost in the struggle <3

ive had multiple experiences where i was dancing in a club or at a party at full tilt for hours just in complete euphoria, in most of those instances i was asked if i was on drugs 😅 i came to the realisation that i was probably stimming real hard 😅😅😅

7:40 - Same - it's just that most of the times I think outside the box because I literally don't even know where the box is!! 9:54 - I HATE this!!!!!!!!! I literally could have a meltdown/shutdown if I get stuck in one of those types of conversations for too long!

I am kinda similar when it comes to creativity, rhymes and poetry. I can just throw down a deep poem in seconds, and writing ideas come to me pretty often, and I find them interesting and pretty good. Of course, it could be complete garbage, I never share them, so it's just my opinion. But I am also pretty critical of myself, so they should be at least decent. However, when it comes to rhymes, my brain has a special place for lyrics of songs, I rember a lot of lyrics (I wish my brain would use it for something more important, lol), but when I call with my friends, I can just start singing a song, rhyme my own words in it, sometimes nonsense, sometimes pretty good ones, but my friends are sometimes just buffled how I do it. It's pretty fun. The only problem is I can't sing, so their ears bleed often.

Thiiiis has made me Feel Things(tm) and Think About Things(tm) so I am now going to go have a cry about those. X'D Thank you for making this video!

Amazing video, thanks for the shoutout! I totally empathise with the ‘it’s like being on drugs’ it totally is, I used to love clubbing it was so euphoric

ADHD gives me the ability to think creatively outside the box. Autism has me wanting to stay within the boundaries and “rules” AuDHD gives me the ability to very creatively connect thoughts and ideas and come up with new strategies for problems while still staying inside the boundaries and rules, a VERY useful thing to be able to do 😊

I love your videos you're a legend Alina ! I am also done with small talk and its extremely liberating.

Welcome to my autism channel 😭🫧

Wanted to let you know your videos help me so much! Lots of ♡ & gratitude

2:35 Yeh its awesome, till you realize its 3 AM and you should actually sleep.

Youre honestly great, i relate to you so much, makes me feel less alone to see another audhd'er unmasked!

Ugh that’s so infuriating about your sister’s school! It’s not like they’re being asked to give a diagnosis, just allow her to be assessed! I think I’ve heard that you need to pay out of pocket for the prescription medication if you get diagnosed outside of the NHS? I’m not from there so I might be totally wrong, but just good to anticipate the expense in advance if true. Definitely donating!

Your shirt is cool, I think I'm audhd too and I think our speech patterns are similar

Good evening! Im AudHD as well!! I love that we are more accepting, non-judgemental and very creative. The downsides are that I can be a bit too sensitive and emotional for the average man, and it's related to audhd, but I love who I am!!!

When people ask me if I'm on drugs I just say "yes, I'm on amphetamine" while keeping a straight face for as long as I can. Then they look at me like wtf so I explain the difference between methamphetamine and my medicine.

Braingasm?

i also have adhd! fav thing about having adhd: my creativity & hyperfocus for what i am interested in at the time. my least fav thing about adhd: my short term memory 😔 i will forget why i walked in a room multiple times a day. i will also forget important events or plans that my bf tells me, i feel so terrible about it. ADHD & Autism is ALSO a special interest of mine & has been for about 9 months now (since my diagnosis) & i think it’ll be a life long special interest 🥰

I‘m just so happy about this video! Very good stuff for my evening ❤ Greetings from Germany! I LOVE stimming too! Do you have a stim toy Collection? 😍 I LOVE my special interests! I LOVE recognizing small details. I Love autistic joy ❤
