    I have adhd and definitely relate to craving familiarity and routine. This is a good general reference, though. I think the overlap between autism and adhd is vast and poorly understood.

      yeah routine helps treat some symptoms/effects of ADHD, it’s just gotta be a flexible routine that has room for novelty.

      perhaps a better way to understand it is not in what is craved but where one thrives?
