  I want stability but I’m bored to death at my job. I want connection but I’m terrified of intimacy. I want order but I can’t keep things orderly no matter how hard I try. I want to be myself but I’m always afraid of being too much.

  Being misunderstood is my number one least favorite feeling.

  &quot;When no one is in your corner because no one thinks you need help.&quot; That. Exactly that.

  Ok. I was rolling my eyes about people crying over this video, but then I heard her say “maybe you can make friendships, but you can’t maintain them. And maybe not being able to maintain them is the most painful part.” 😭 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBDR1uzBgX0&amp;t=623">10:23</a>

  I was already diagnosed adhd first. Then when I had my autism assessment and he diagnosed me he told me at the end. “I want you to know now, that you won&apos;t feel like you fit with adhd people, but you also won&apos;t fit with autisic people, don&apos;t be disheartened. You need to find people with both disorders because together it&apos;s something totally different.”And that&apos;s when I went looking and I found audhd. And I totally get it now he was right 100%

  Molecular Biologist here with AuDHD who is also a photographer and executive OA in aerospace. I have always had multiple jobs, deal with RSD, had childhood trauma and adult trauma as I entered into emotionally abusive relationships. &nbsp;I had to learn not everyone has the same heart as me and I do not have to prove my worth to get love. I had to realize I also did self harm by accepting people I &quot;fix&quot; as I see potential in people. I held space for everyone else, but me. I poured into everyone else and had to realize my lack of safety made me fight for &quot;safety&quot; over finding actual safe people. I am gullible as I am very honest and loyal, I always assumed most people were and had to wake up to reality. I have always been told I was strong and did not need help, but I DO need help, even though I am strong as hell. Everyone needs help.

  I want the world around me to be structured, stable, and steady so I have the freedom to try all the new things with a safe place to land. I desperately need to explore ideas but I also need that structure to keep my world from unraveling. If I&apos;m not experiencing novelty, I&apos;m bored to death. If my world is too chaotic and unstructured I&apos;m anxious. It&apos;s a difficult balance to keep.

  I’d love to hear a guest discuss AuDHD in (autistic) burnout… trying to deal with that when your own brain has contradictory root desires

  I’m soooooooo happy she spoke about work/career as I’ve always thought my resumé was evidence of AuDHD. My resumé is all over the place. My autistic side loves numbers and patterns and naturally chose a “boring career” in finance/accounting. I’ve gone from Billing Research for a major conglomerate, but my ADHD side got bored when I was succeeding in my role and became a wedding dress saleswoman. Then went back to finance and became a mortgage broker. Got bored again and became a fitness instructor (almost to national trainer level), then got bored and went back into finance (this time with the government). Guess what? Got bored again and became a crochet and knitting pattern designer and writer, started working for yarn companies and magazines/publishing companies. Then got bored and went back to finance, again for the government but this time in taxes. Funny enough, when I was 17, I was hospitalized for bipolar disorder which turned out I didn’t have. It was probably AuDHD all along.

  I am a late diagnosed autistic female who found out I was gifted when I was six. It took me 47 years and working from home to control my environment to understand what I believe happens to us. In the wrong environments, we are invalidated, disciplined, and bullied for being ourselves to the point of our personalities are a trauma response. We people please to survive because when we are our authentic selves our experience is so different that we upset people with our truth. I believe empathetic people vibrate at a frequency that causes cognitive dissonance in people who do not experience the full spectrum of reality that sensitive women are decoding.
