I was diagnosed with ADHD and started on medication at 12, but not really told anything about what it meant for me or how to deal with it, and when I was 18 -literally when my parents dropped me off at college- was told I was autistic

      do you remember puting your face in a box and seeing a screen and having to push a button whenever a light appeared by chance?

          I remember trying REALLY HARD cause I was a competitive little shit even when I wasn't competing

          Also, are you intentionally removing the upvotes from your own comments or is this update just extra spicy?

              I see, would you mind sharing more? I don't want to pry, I just love learning about the experience of others, feel free to say no <3

                  Hell yeah! please let me know if you change your mind <3

                  Why do you remove it? Is 0 a more comfortable/ round number for you than 1?

                    I just absolutely hate the idea of my own post being upvoted by myself. Just doesn't feel organic to me. I guess it actually kind of started on principle now that I think about it, but then my OCD saw that and said "Oh you HAVE to do it now or you will feel physically uncomfortable."
