    Looking back, how have you progressed?

    2022 a year of moving forward! First time moving out in my 30+ years of existence. Cut binge drinking/blacking out on occasional nights out from my life. 3 promotions now I’ve found my strengths that I can hyper focus on. Learning more about myself mentally and knowing when I’m going to push...

    Curry poll!

    Love a good bhuna, jalfrezi, balti strength curry. Tried vindaloo and phaal too extreme for my liking (managed to have 3/4 of my vindaloo finished but was too hot to be enjoyable, had about 2 fork's worth of the phaal )

    Thank you for your kind message I’m glad they have helped. They have all just been off the cusp (heart on your sleeve) type messages just straight from what’s whirling round in this busy head Side note: I rang up a private ADHD clinic 2 days ago and was just about to put the deposit down (my...

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    From my own personal opinion but I could t be sure on it but it seems to happen in my case. So I actually love my job it provides a lot of mental stimulation so I’m basically like a fire work (here, there and everywhere) 90% of my chats are about the work we do with 10% just adding in a bit of...

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    Don’t mean to sound silly but seaweed tablets don’t sound appealing I can say my diet is far from a balanced one I’m a very picky eater which my partner is trying to help me work upon. I do tend to binge eat chocolate at times as a quick fix to try give me some energy I.e. I could eat a full £1...

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    I think that’s a wise idea 2 days here and there seems a lot easier than full weeks worth. Ahhh okay I like that you’ve attached a goals/hobbies towards your walks and drives which will make it easier to do action them on a regular basis. I think I’m in need of a new Hobbie outside of my...

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    So on the work aspect I do actually really enjoy my job and sort of have a special interest in it where I need to know everything about every aspect I say special interest because it’s lasted for more than 3 years, but it definitely tires me out to the extreme on some occasions. The time off is...

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    So I took a test on the clinics website I chose and my scores were 5 and 7. My only doubt is my old fashioned parents who I’ve never mentioned it to as I didn’t think they wouldn’t understand so I haven’t asked them their opinion of me as a child although I know they can at least say I had...

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    In regards to your ADHD diagnosis was it online or in person? Im fine with having an online one but my girlfriend seems to think an in person one would be more reliable.

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    Really good listen! What made me chuckle is on my last response before watching it I was going to include (I don’t read many books as I seem to forget what I’ve just read rather quickly like I don’t absorb the information) low and behold that’s one of the points. Only other person I’ve brought...

    Thanks I’ll give it a listen now! I’ve listened to a few off his podcasts from the ADDitude website, I also stumbled across a YouTube video last week of him regarding ADHD and Asperger’s combined (I know that’s not correct terminology now but that’s the title on the video if you happen to come...

    Special interest indeed! If I’m not working or not out with my partner I’m at home researching. I think my partner gets slightly frustrated by my new found obsession but there’s just so much to learn about Neurodiversity and so many interesting stories/perspectives.

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    Thank you for all your detailed responses. It’s pushed me to stop over researching and actually put the wheels in motion maybe 6 months later than I anticipated but I’ve just contact 3 private clinics requesting a call back as I’m at the point now where I feel like I know confidently and it’s...

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    I like your analogy it can definitely feel like “searching for radio reception” even on little things so I went to get my trainers out the washing machine to put them on the radiator before the gym. As I grabbed them I heard the oven was on (I had put food in 20 minutes ago) which I would of...

    ASD/ADHD fatigue

    I can totally relate to your points say for instance when I work 5/6 days a week my day off I don’t really achieve anything and the house tasks really pile up. But I’ve had 2 consecutive days off yesterday I done absolutely nothing just lounged round all day in between Napping but today now I’m...
