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."

                    I absolutely feel you on that. How does the discomfort manifest for you, with this specific instance? Is it the same as other similar instances, or does it present differently with each?
