Things i love about being AuDHD (Autistic with ADHD)

My sister’s ADHD fundraiser gofund.me/ea14...
may make a propaer description when i have the spoons for it!

[@diversatree]

I totally relate to the visual thinking. I sometimes watch movies in my head and play music. It's an awesome ability.

[@TMABWTE]

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 😊

[@disaster_chief]

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.

[@nickysaus]

Finally found someone who I can really relate to. Thank you for existing ❤❤❤

[@audhdbaddie]

thank u for letting me know im not alone❤️🫂

[@nickysaus]

@ 🫂 you most definitely are not! 😊

[@NFSMAN50]

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!!!

[@izzypb3]

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

[@amazinga2514]

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!

[@KevJDunn]

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

[@scotthrich]

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.

[@elbownio5820]

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 😅😅😅

[@TriniTheSenzuBean]

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 🥰

[@audhdbaddie]

Omg same with my memory 🥲🥲 it’s so bad, n it really hinders me in what i wanna do as my job (acting), i wish there was something i could take, with no side effects, that would actually help with that.

[@TriniTheSenzuBean]

literally same 😭 i grew up with loved ones always telling me “you should get into acting” & now as an adult im like “ehhhh, i’m not even gonna get passed the auditions bc I’ll need the script in hand!” lol i just got off of my non-stimulate meds & the side effects were pretty miserable for me but, they didn’t last very long! regardless, i believe you can do anything if you wanted; meds or not! 🥰 (new subscriber btw, love your vids & personality)

[@ama.mitexi]

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

What I love about my AuDHD and I recognize this because I vaped some Weed is that how we perceive things absolute precise and rationally while in the meantime we respond emotionally. We have a discrepancy between our Perception and Responses. Listening to the Video I recognized that and I found it really funny. That's why people find us funny too because they see how we don't even perceive our own emotions that we send out at that exact moment. It makes us seem stupid. But they don't even know that we are some true masterminds that perceive and think so rational. So they leave their guards down and trust us and we actually then control the situation. I am just kidding. Of course we AuDHDers are (for the most part) very goodheardet people because we self reflect so much and want to improve and be better and compensate for our constant failure with kindness. We don't mean it. We love people. We love you.

[@rogerfarrow8650]

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

[@zennonapieronn]

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.

[@jennamathews7506]

SONG LYRICS ARE LIKE THE ONE THING THAT REALLY STICK IN MY MEMORY! I LOVE IT!

[@TheNeuroconvergence]

Enjoying the channel. Thank you.

[@zaaxi7424]

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

[@suribepe]

I love a lot about my brain. Imagination, creativity, sense of humor. I don’t mind the social awkwardness and difficulties it comes with, tbh. Hyperfixations and special interests are amazing even if it makes me sad when my brain just decides to move on, lol. What I absolutely hate about it is the damn executive distinction and sensory overload. Those really affect me and won’t let me function at times when I really need to. That’s the biggest challenge is AuDHD for me.

[@Mr-qt4xr]

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

[@ShadyPlatinum777]

Seeing the positives is important for us neurodivergent people. Never change 👍

[@quarkonia_autismus_adhs]

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 ❤

[@audhdbaddie]

Yayyy, hii! I do, i was thinking to make a video rating all my stim toys! Aww same here i love autistic joy🥹💖

[@quarkonia_autismus_adhs]

@ Hii oh yes please 😍🙏 It makes me so happy to see others collections.

[@launacasey6513]

I appreciate your positivity - I find that it can get a little depressing to have both. But if course that could just be my upbringing and trauma from my early years. I am one of those who has flown under the radar of diagnosis because the traits seem to offset or balance each other out. At 41 I'm just starting to let myself have stim toys and accepting myself. What a thing to come to terms with after so long 🙃

[@quarkonia_autismus_adhs]

@@launacasey6513 I can understand that a lot, I got diagnosed with 27 (ADHD) and 28 (autism) and also have trauma. There are a lot of feelings and I can imagine it must be very difficult to be diagnosed even later.

[@user-kv8nx9oj5v]

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!

[@audhdbaddie]

Thank you so much😭! I know, it’s so dissapointing that the school would get in the way rather than help a child who is struggling. Yes i’ve heard so too about medications :/, ihave seen tho that if you go with a right to choose provider (like psychiatry uk which we’re going with) they accept the prescriptions. But also luckily my sister wont be taking the meds just yet (her and her mothers decision) but it will help to access the accomodations within the school!

[@user-kv8nx9oj5v]

@@audhdbaddie Yes the accommodations will be worth it regardless! I was lucky that most professors at my college (in the US) were accommodating without me having official paperwork (since it was kind of a hippie school, lol), but I definitely ran into trouble with some of them and it would've been amazing to have my diagnosis back then. Best of luck to you and your sister!

[@cvl32432]

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

[@jennamathews7506]

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.

[@audhdbaddie]

It’s hard out here in this capitalist world😪, we have to play the game (metaphorically) but at what cost🥲🩷

[@jennamathews7506]

@ It’s a very high cost. I’m doomed either way. I either don’t take meds and burnout trying to keep up with high demands and unspoken rules. Or I take meds and lose all the parts of myself I enjoy in order to not feel burnout. But either way, I fear my days of making art and creative writing and imagining worlds in my head are going to HAVE to come to an end. I really wish this wasn’t the case.
