Discussion How many of you are autistic/adhd?

[wh0arewe123]

I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS and that diagnosis no longer exists it is under autism now. I got diagnosed with autism when I went to a psychologist originally for depression. My symptoms include sensory issues such as picky eating and I struggle with verbal and non verbal communication even when I socialized frequently. Before I turned 11, I never dwelled on it because a lot of teachers appreciate a quiet kid who listens to everything. I don't like my symptoms though because neurotypicals can know who is vulnerable or not.

Autism is what is driving me to want to die. Autism is the ability to see things average people don't see, understand the systems that govern our society, and recognize evil and manipulation. The world looks like hell to an autistic person, there is so much suffering caused by evil people on purpose, that doesn't have to be happening if we would just fight back, but normal people don't see any of it and ignore it. The world is controlled by a few powerful people and organizations, the rest of us are cattle, raised to serve and obey. Everything is designed to keep you oppressed, exploited and powerless. Our lives are devoid of meaning. We're supposed to just watch as people around us are being tortured and slaughtered, lobotomized against their will for not behaving as they're told. This is a truly evil world without a god, and I'm scared to live here.

Aw, no "not diagnosised" option.

I'm schrodinger's autism/adhd, I can agrue I am on the spectrum, but you can also agrue that because I can function normally and have no diagnosis I do not. And I would agree. However, yoi cam also agrue I display enough signs to be considered on the spectrum, and I would also agree.

i feel like these polls are probably unreliable to know the true demographics of this website. for this polll for example, i feel like youre more likely to click the poll in the first place if youre neurodivergent. if not, i think youre more likely to scroll past it

i have autism. i have difficulty with social things and i feel pretty lonely because of it. i always feel like no one likes me. i have sensory issues as well. the one good thing (that's also sometimes a bad thing because i think it makes me annoying sometimes) is special interests. at least i get to get super focused on and lost in something interesting to me. having a special interest in acting can make me better at it i think.
