Pff I got everything wrong tonight, mistaking Husband's enquiring/puzzled look for an annoyed one, and I got angry 😔.
It doesn't last, and he does not resent me once I explained but it sucks.

@Flobzh j'ai du mal à distinguer les émotions sur le visage de mon mari, ce soir, j'ai cru qu'il était énervé alors qu'il etait juste intrigué et du coup je me suis mise en colère 😔 @actuallyautistic

Yesterday was my 1 year AuDHD anniversary!

1 year since the most life-changing realization ever. My resting heart rate dropped by ~10 points after I figured it out.

Knowing this about myself has given me so much peace & confidence. It's given me even more compassion for myself and others. I advocate for my needs now, and I have better boundaries.

Every day I marvel at how amazing we ND folks are, and how much we bring to the world.

I so appreciate this community!

You know when you start a big tidying project, with great intentions, and then get overwhelmed by the mess you create?

Yeah.

That.

Doctor suggested I have but I don't think I do because:
I am able to force myself to do things even if I'm not interested in it.
I do not like spontaneity.
When I have a deadline, I cannot leave it to the last minute or anxiety would cripple me.
But I do struggle to pay attention unless am hyperfocused. And I do have executive function challenges. And I have to have a project. And I crave dopamine hits.

Anyone else similar to that?

@niamhgarvey @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd yes.
It's the AD part for the ADHD!
I am not "hyperactive" but I do struggle with attention unless I hyperfocus too
I get distracted and side tracked a lot when doing things...

@niamhgarvey @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd the key in your réflexion is "it costs me to do that" 😉
