  • Delayed sleep phase is often comorbid with ADHD. I have to take sleeping medication because my body wants to be up until about 4am and sleep until about 1pm. Which isn't sustainable with our modern way of life.

    If you can, I 100% recommend seeing a professional. It took until I was 36 to figure out what all my deal is, but it was so worth it.

    Good luck on your path either way! There are answers. Sometimes it's a huge, horrible slog to get them, but they're there.

  • If it helps, when I was a kid, the conventional wisdom was "girls don't get ADHD." Which is why I didn't get diagnosed until I was about 36.

    Nowadays, we know better. And we can use that knowledge to do better! Which is why I'm finally in college.

  • Well the hyperfocus does as it wills... but sometimes you can get a hyperfocus in something you can improve on! Most of us do that, actually. In all my life, and I'm almost 40, I've only had one hyperfocus that I absolutely can't do. I still try every so often.

    And having a lot of projects going at once is about the only way we can focus. I only ever did well in school in classes where my teachers let me either read a book or play with aying cards while they taught. Many of us can only multitask.

  • Hey I'm someone who can answer this.

    ADHD, by itself, does not have manic episodes. There's a lot of supporting documentation to that effect.

    Mania is often caused by having too much dopamine. ADHDers don't have enough dopamine ever, unless with medication, or with hyperfocus.

    So the similarity you're seeing is only in that people with ADHD will negotiate, move things around, eat only ramen for a month in order to buy things related to the new hyperfocus. Pursuing the hyperfocus gives us dopamine, so we will do lots to justify getting that, since we don't have any. People with bipolar can have manic episodes which can be caused by an abundance of dopamine, which leads them to doing things they shouldn't, because they can't control themselves.

    I can't speak for others, but all of the blockhead decisions I've ever made while hyperfocusing and buying too many supplies, I've absolutely known I shouldn't, and why I shouldn't, but I'm trying to get my fix so I'm going to buy that lockpicking kit, thankyouverymuch, and if I have to eat ramen for a week to do it, I will!

    (Pro tip I got from someone else online. If the hyperfocus gets you bad, spend lots and lots of extra time shopping for, researching, and making damn sure the thing you want to buy is the perfect one for your hyperfocus. I've been able to buy myself a couple of weeks this way, which allowed me to save up. I treat hyperfocus like unexpected car maintenance problems nowadays.)

  • I'm just putting this out there.

    If I was married to a man, and we were about to divorce, I would 100% be willing to go along with him faking his death so I could collect his life insurance, and then I'd split it with him 50/50.

  • Air pollution emerges as critical environmental risk factor for autism, emerging topic review finds

    Jump

  • My godson is low to mid functioning and people like the one you're replying to don't realize that they're playing into the hands of people who want to cut help and financial aid for autism as a disability. "It's not really a disability" is extremely harmful.

    But also I think society has done a great harm in hiding the most disabled among us. People hear autism and think some asshole on TV who plays as a savant. They don't think of the 17-year-old man who can't use the restroom and can only eat two food types despite years of therapy, who becomes violent if he can't watch YouTube on demand.
