    I have both and the top two are constantly at war in my body. ADHD screams we’re bored, we should go out to a movie, grab a bite to eat, hang out at the mall, my Autism is like fuck no I wanna stay home under the covers and play Binding of Isaac.

    When autism wins out ADHD is like, yeah but you suck at Binding of Isaac why don’t you try something new and then I spend 2 hours scrolling my library trying to pick a new game instead of playing.

    But if the ADHD wins out over the autism I’ll go a place and get overstimulated and when I come back I’ll either have a migraine, go into an autism nap for several hours, or just the burnt out and unable to focus for 2 days.
