I was diagnosed with a major cognitive disorder in my 50s. Also ADD. I now realize that I am autistic. The psychiatrist said that my IQ was too high for her to measure because it was much higher than 140. She said that I didn't present as neurodivergent because I have great compensation skills. I held down a job and was successful until my doctor told me to stop caffeine for my blood pressure. I guess that I had been self medicating with it without realizing it. I just fell apart until I recognized the correlation and went back to caffeine. I told my doctor to just give me a higher dose of blood pressure medication

People are just out there sexually attracted to random people that just look good? That’s it? That’s wild to me! My brain couldn’t do it, being attractive isn’t enough to make me want to be intimate with a person. So if we’re “demisexual”, what are they??

Thank you so much. I would love to say so many things but it would probably end up in book-length comment. I just want to say that I have never relate to something that much in my life. From small things like starting living with my girlfriend after three months (now wife), routines with autistic kid, making life changing desicion in a second and simple things researching for months, to for me personally big things like your description of how you think. I was recently (in my mid 30s) diagnosed with ADHD and lot of things doesn't add up to me. I don't know of I am autistic, some people think so, but you seriously helped me to put some pieces of the puzzle together. I owe you.

This discussion reminds me of what I liked most about your recounting of what school was like for you in earlier videos. It makes me think about how school is “setup” more for me to be successful than the rest of my life (taking care of the house, preparing and eating meals, etc.) will ever be. In school, there was external structure and time constraints, but lots of variety. It worked best for me when teachers allowed me to do multiple things during class, like take notes AND do homework for another class at the same time. But, keeping up with the myriad of different tasks necessary to function as an adult is exhausting and frustrating, especially when I’d rather sit and read. 😂 Please forgive the tangent this went to! Great video… loved the rationalization part 😮😂

Hiya, Future here. I’m sorry to report to you that 2020 did not work out okay. We were all forced to prioritize our values great and small and sacrifice to varying degrees those of now “lesser concern” before we could assimilate back into Society, both local and greater. When an entire united society has that forced upon it all at once, it can shatter it into countless pieces,and it has only gotten progressively worse each year. Gee, for those reading from the future, I hope those 2020’s worked out okay. 👀

2:40 WHATNJIBJIKBHJIkbchivbfrhvkjl frvhrkbv Ok maybe I am, just based on that alone. That really was a eureka moment for me. I really don't like people being loud or giving me hugs and handshakes yet I'm also a human foghorn and am irritatingly physical with everyone. Tbh I was kinda getting upset at myself for being such a hypocrite for the longest time, so now you've unlocked the secrets of my brain I can finally be free from my own stupidity

@Yo Samdy Sam ... Congratulations on 5 years, and thank you for your courage in starting your channel and sharing the insights on your journey. If you hadn't been here as a reminder I'm not alone and it's naturally divergent to have these life experiences, I'm not sure I would be here at all. AuHD, so rare, so super and so vulnerable. After 4 years, Unscripted, I was in tears of joy, also helped me recognised who of my other divergent friends are also AuHD, not just Au or just ADHD. (Just needs aother word but, umm .. ... well you get it!)

I finally have the perfect "career". House sitting. Every few weeks I move into someone else's interesting house which satisfies my need for novelty. Once there, it's just me and the pets, satisfying my need to isolate.

Yep. I have no diagnosis yet because the waitinglist is intense and I am barely speaking to experts because the sceduling is so bad to manage. But i definitely think I have both. I relate a lot to all these signs but also notice when I read or think about it i just can't seem to choose between ADHD and autism. i keep coming back to both. Hope to actually get a diagnosis soon bc it takes so much energy to wait and sit by.

I just realised it'll be a year next month for me. I can't organise my thoughts enough to say how it has affected me but it has definitely been a good thing. I wish I had got it years earlier (decades really) but better late than never.

okay, i've suspected being a AuDHDer for years, have an ADHD diagnosis as of a couple years ago, and acknowledgement from my psychiatrist & therapist that i exhibit a lot of autistic traits at minimum... but this synthesizes the two in such an accurate description of my experience that i kinda can't handle it rn. the "getting less help than i need" thing hits so hard it hurts, appearing to be balanced down the middle but in reality i'm getting Vaudeville hooked off both sides of the stage simultaneously also yes, i do experience certain traits as belonging more to my "ADHD brain" vs. "autistic brain", but in some cases both sides have their own version of a similar trait and it's hard to tell which one i'm dealing with

Hi! Coming to you from the future. It’s 2024, and I’m still salty that I’m expected to participate in society normally again. And I find that day-to-day masking to blend into the world is still harder/more exhausting than before COVID let me stop masking.

I self-diagnosed nearly 2 years ago. Your videos help! I’m a long way towards full acceptance - I still feel awful about past social embarrassments. What has been wonderful is the complete acceptance (so far) by all friends and relatives, and my husband has been wonderful.
