sorry for being an incoherent mess. i have this thing called an "adhd" and maybe autism too that my antivax parents believe i got from, you guessed it, vaccines.
good to meet you all. i know i'm from lemmygrad, but my computer shit my pants trying to join hexbear so this should suffice
Welcome, glad you could join us
You might be interested in checking out the !neurodiverse@hexbear.net comm. It skews pretty strongly towards autism but it's intended for all forms of neurodivergence, including ADHD. Self-diagnosis is respected there too.
i was diagnosed with "temporary hyperactivity" as a kid. it just means adhd because diagnosis of neurodiverse stuff was weak at the time in romania. that didn't go away lol. it never will. also no medicine for adhd in my country either :( but i still function kinda fine :)
it's highly likely i have audhd, who knows. thank you for the kind words by the way
I'm going to claim the self-appointed title of resident effortposter for that comm. (There are other really good effortposters in there too - they are welcome to appoint themselves to this title too.)
I've been threatening for a long time to do an effortpost on the different medications that can be used for ADHD, including a lot of less commonly prescribed ones that are off the beaten track. I really should get onto doing that. Even if the typical stimulants aren't available I'd be utterly shocked if there were zero meds available that can treat ADHD, so there is very likely some opportunities to consider even if Romania is strict about it.
Idk the lay of the land where you are but Eastern European countries often have access to Russian medications that are basically nonexistent in the west too, like phenylpiracetam, so you might have some options in this regard (although I'm out of my depth there).
That's assuming that you actually want to explore options for ADHD meds.
At the risk of self-promotion, I wrote this effortpost about how auDHD feels for me internally because there's very little out there on what it's like having both, especially since the ways that autistic and ADHD traits interact and either compensate or aggravate each other makes it feel kinda like you're in a no-man's-land between autism and ADHD. I know for me, whenever I'm around ADHDers I walk away thinking "Goddamn, I'm so autistic" and when I'm around autistic people I walk away thinking "Goddamn, I'm so ADHD" lol. Anyway, you might find that post interesting.
I like to weigh in on medication, mental health, neurodevelopmental disorders (esp. ADHD and autism), and all the stuff surrounding these issues like accessibility, therapy, education, accommodations, burnout and so on. You're welcome to ping me or to tag me in a post/a comment to seek my input, and topics like these usually get something worthwhile out of me.
i actually read that post and found it pretty good! that's why i thought i had audhd in one way or another, or was that another post related to "hey does my relative have adhd or autism? or both? please readfanon person, help with your expertise!" where you actually answered in great detail, i forgot
Haha, well there you go - looks like my reputation precedes me.
That post was on the back of talking in comments here and there about parts of the auDHD experience but knowing that there just wasn't anything decent and fairly comprehensive to point people towards which describes what it feels like.
I have this part of me that gets really frustrated when there's a lack of resources available and, on good days, I just channel that frustration and go "Fuck it, if it doesn't exist but it needs to then I'm just gonna make it myself!" and that's exactly what happened when I wrote that post.
