Who here is AuDHD? Autistic and ADHD, both together

Being autistic and ADHD is a curious combination of two things that seem to pull and push in opposite directions. The source of burnout. The chaos of ADHD brain impulsivity and hyper-focus, mixed with the autistic desire from routine and ordered structure. Two magnets, pulling in opposing directions

I'm not either but I understand the pain of trying to find the balance between a need for routine and predictability in order to avoid anxiety that badly affects health and the crushing boredom such life brings that eventually leads to understimulation, deep feeling of unfulfillment and eventually depression.
It's hard to find balance between the two.

@CrazyMusicLover Balance is hard to find and balance. My mind is a mess of chaotic order. The Yin-Yan of neurodivergent identity ☯
