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

    Yep. Just read the whole wikipedia thing and am feeling really called out right now (Insert Facebook "I'm in this image and I don't like it" meme)...I have 2 alarms plus my fitbit that vibrates, captchas to turn the alarms off, and a horrendous addiction to coffee.

        It keeps me alive at 6am until I actually 'wake up' around noon at work. Otherwise, it doesn't do much for me, either. I seriously wish I could convince my psych that just cuz I can function doesn't mean that I wouldn't appreciate not having to put quite so much concentrated effort into it. I know I'll always have to work harder with executive functioning and crap but I really would like a wee bit more help.
