I ran out of my long acting ADHD meds yesterday and my pharmacy had to order them in for today. Which means I'm at work today with no ADHD meds.

I cannot hold a damn thought.

I have stopped mid-doing something and gone into buffering mode as I tried to remember what the hell I was in the middle of doing. I forget every second thought.

So, don't let NTs tell you "ADHD is just forgetting things. I forget things all the time."

Not every 5 seconds, Sharon! Not over and over and over. This is not a normal brain pattern.

You can take your brain and memory ableism and shove it where the thoughts don't shine.

I was without my ADHD meds for a week and a half because of a pharmacy fuckup and it was hell. My brain was so loud and I couldn’t get anything done. The quiet and peace that descended on me when I got my meds finally was such a huge relief.

Please remember:

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disability that can cause difficulties with social interaction and with language. It is highly genetic but full causes unknown. No specific medications can help, although medications may be used for co-morbid conditions like anxiety.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disability that causes difficulties with attention, memory and concentration. It is highly genetic with possible environmental factors but full causes unknown. Medication available to help, but may not benefit everyone.
Autism and ADHD can occur separately or can co-occur.
They are not the same condition.
Symptoms can look similar but the mechanism of that symptom must be looked at first.
How those symptoms appear will be very different, too.
In those with both, the effect of each condition can cause contradictions or mixed symptoms.
Both, however, are disabilities that benefit from similar self-care strategies.

This was inspired by a post I saw but lost about something similar. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please let me know so I can post it.

there is a spectrum specifically for actors that used to be wrestlers and one end of the spectrum is dwayne johnson who’s like, a pretty competent actor, but like he really only has the one performance he can do and that performance is just The Rock. but that’s okay because you don’t hire the rock to Not have him just be the rock in your movie. the other end of the spectrum is bautista, who is like actually shockingly good as an actor and seemingly has a genuine love and interest in the craft and is actively working to expand his range and see what he can do. somewhere in the spectrum in some unidentified quadrant is vin diesel who has never been a wrestler but just seems so much like a guy who would be a washed up meathead wrestler turned washed up meathead actor that it’s impossible to shake but also impossible to pin down. an enigma
