    I was only ever observed to have autism, but I highly suspect that I’m audhd. What kind of hell is this where caffeine can help my ADHD focus but harms my autistic focus

      If it’s any consolation, I’m AuDHD myself (ADHD diagnosed first) and I would have never made it this far without copius amounts of caffeine.

      Edit: To expand on this, my autistic tastebuds have rejected the taste of coffee until I was like 21. Imagine the astonishment following my first cup when I was bustling around actually getting things done for once.
