That’s common enough that there’s a nickname for it (AuDHD). People will cry about how none of the concepts in the memes posted are exclusive to autistic or ADHD people, but it’s not like we’re fucking aliens… of course a lot of the memes are things everyone feels sometimes, but a lot worse and more frequently if you have ADHD or are on the spectrum.
It’s not diagnostic to relate to memes obviously, but it’s for sure a jumping off point if you want to pursue it in therapy or try out coping strategies suggested by other neurodivergent people.
The spectrum being so broad (and often mixed with Autism/Aspergers or vice-versa) is just because the brain is really good at making things still somehow work.
I mean with this, that the brain has a priority in keeping consciousness up and is really good at that. Autism/Aspergers/ADHD are all cases with some issues in our neuro-chemical household but we still somehow work. Heck, there are even cases of people with a waterhead, the brain only being a few mm thick layer along the skull but they still lived a normal life.
Story of my life and I’m not even autistic
Seeing all the memes on the autism and ADHD communities makes me pretty certain I have both.

What? Autism and/or ADHD isn’t an example of the brain making “things still somehow work”. That’s a pretty offensive thing to say honestly.
If you want an example of the brain’s phenomenal ability to adapt, you could instead look to people born with literally half of their brain missing.

Oh, got it. You’ve got issues with the implication of being “defective”? We call ourselves neurodivergent, not defective, no?
You’re not reading the words correctly. Try again. It’s clear you can’t read intent of someone clearly is.

I hope you’re joking.
Obviously that is not the only criteria for the diagnosis.
Besides that, the post clearly addresses introverts.
It was tongue in cheek. My sense of humor doesn’t come across text well. Or in real life.
Thanks for clarifying! :)
The “/s” for sarcasm flag can help. Especially in text base media. There are enough people who say something like that dead serious. x(
I thought it was funny
Yeah, I’m starting to wonder if autistic and ADHD (at least as far as the meme pages go) are just being used as code words for “extra introverted”.
No. There’s reason to avoid people. They don’t understand, don’t listen and demand anything when it’s none of their gorram business.
There is reason to be introverted. You clearly don’t understand so maybe stop running your mouth.
