hey :) i have ADD, not autism or aspergers, but ADD (or ADHD) shares loads of similar symptoms ! some examples from my experiences: i'm very sensitive to sensory stims. i've always been a picky eater, and it's simply because of the textures of certain foods. tomatoes, mushrooms, seafood of any kind, avocado, sweet potato, onions, and meat are foods that are really upsetting for me to have to eat. i like meat, but i often pick it apart to get to the parts i can stand to put in my mouth :") it's really embarrassing and i feel like a baby when i do it, and it drives my parents crazy. when i was younger, i even used to pick all the seeds off of my strawberries before i ate them. and i'm very picky with other fruit if they have marks, bruises, or discoloring. along with the textures, messy things have always made me lose my mind. when i was a baby i hated the sand pit or sand at beaches, and i hated fingerpaint. i can't write with a dull pencil, or bite popsicles, and i'm really sensitive to the texture of my clothing. i also hyperfixate on certain subjects or interests. for the past few years, it's been mostly canines, clothes, and cars. i don't like to tell people about these because it's impossible for me to shut up when i start talking about them. like, i'm begging myself to stop talking but my mouth won't stop moving :") another thing - when i was in pre-k, i would organize all my toys instead of playing with them. i remember making patters with the train sets, and some kid came in and ruined it and i cried. and when i'm eating candy i organize them by color when the opportunity arises. i just like how it looks, but i don't do it in public anymore because i didn't realize that some people think it's weird. i'm extremely sensitive to repeated sounds. i won't cry or punch anything, but i do get really frustrated. i hate when i realize there's a clock ticking, because i have a lot of trouble not focusing on it. my brother most likely has ADHD and is always tapping something or making annoying sounds, and we often get into arguments about why it bothers me and why he needs to do it. i also make rhythmic sounds by tapping things sometimes, so i get it, but i still can't stand it. something weird that i've found bothers me in relation to this is rhyming; if i or someone else rhymes unintentionally it grosses me out lmao. i'd love to give a reason for this, but i've got nothing :") ADD kiddos are also notorious for stimming, as i mentioned earlier. the leg bounce has been a big thing for me when i'm nervous, as well as wiping my hands down the front of my pants if i'm wearing jeans that are textured, or feeling the hem on the bottom of my shirt. i also sometimes curl up my hands and press my thumbnail into the side of my first finger, but all of these are unintentional for the most part. last thing-- i barely spoke until i was four. it was partially because i have GERD and it was making my throat hurt all the time, so when i finally started talking my voice was really raspy for several years and it's lower than most female voices now. but discomfort aside, it shouldn't have taken me quite so long. my ADD is paired with anxiety and some other things i'd rather not discuss here, and i was diagnosed when i was 13 so i've been off to a late start with correcting it. i tried meds for ADD but they made my anxiety so bad that i couldn't function. i have met people that have been helped by ADD/ADHD meds, however, it just didn't work out for me. uhh yeah, so, i'm not really sure how to end this, but thanks if you read the whole thing :") |

I also have adhd, I have autism as well. I don't know if it is common for people with autism to also have adhd or people with adhd to also have autism. It seemed like I was saying that you had autism also but I wasn't. |
