A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.

Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.

Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.

In regards to medication and medical advice: Please take under consideration that this is only an online support community. Offered advice is always an expression of individual opinions or experiences and shall never be taken as substitute for a professional in-person assessment!

This is a SFW community. Sensitive topics are allowed, but must be properly labeled.

I'm curious to see the types of jobs and work fields that us audhders thrive in since a lot of jobs usually just end up burning us out.

Anyone found a way to make a steady income and not hate the job?

DevOps Architect - Was born for it. So many details. So many different technologies. I've been in IT for 25 years. I learn constantly. Keeps it fresh. And when I can't focus I just spin around and play Gran Turismo until I can concentrate.

This should probably be my job description, but life got in the way before I speciated from generic backend software engineer. I'm doing something analogous, in that I've been putting together a 'stack' on top of Proxmox and super portable hardware so that I can self-host nearly everything I need on my own hardware while not having a permanent place to live.
