i have adhd but was never tested for autism. i relate to a lot of these and a lot of other autistic traits so i'm pretty sure i have it but i don't want to spread misinformation or people to think i'm faking it
I'm pretty sure I have both, considering my twin has both and we are very similar. My parents haven't noticed because we have different needs, he has more social issues, I have more sensory issues, we both have volume issues and odd humor.
I feel that about the cross-compensation. I've felt internally contradictory for much of my life, but once I started learning about all this I started to realize that aside from the masking, the adhd and autism kind've cover for eachother in weird ways
These tiktoks are nearly perfect mirrors of all my struggles! Good god, our world is so much more chaotic but these tiktoks help me quite alot in feeling less alone 💕
Dude thanks so much for making this, that one guy really hit the nail on the head when he said having both isn’t just the sum of each part, it’s a completely different experience. That can feel really isolating
I have never needed a compilation more in my LIFE. For once, every single video fully reflected things I experience and were helpful - it feels like coming home 😆(The advice for making a schedule work FINALLY feels useful!!) I am so freaking glad AuDHD is getting more attention and people are talking about their experiences😭🥰 Thank you for making this💙💙💙
THANK YOU I struggle so much with organization because i make plans but never follow through and always go do something else These tiktoks are fun and helpful, thank you!!! you cannot deny deez nuts!
0:50 genuinely made my jaw drop! i don't have autism but i need to plan things but my adhd make it difficult to know how much time to put aside, and even to just plan for that long but THESE THINGS??? i am going to die /pos
Yes! I thought the same thing, that my ADHD meds made me feel more autistic. I also feel like I use my ADHD to compensate for my Autism and vice versa, so when I started my ADHD meds, I started to struggle much more in social situations.
Yes!! Purple Ella, thank you for helping to validate my own awareness that my ADHD felt like an adaptive response that allowed me to mask better and be in situations that I would otherwise be intolerable. I need to find more info on this. I totally relate!!!
This is why I hated being on medication. I like that funny, impulsive, spontaneous, creative part of myself and the medicine just hit the off switch and I was a constantly overwhelmed and overstimulated hermit without any of the voices in my head to keep me company. I have a just ADHD friend who swears by medication and I told her I turn into a completely different kind of person on it. She was very confused. AuDHD is a paaaaain But I also love it. I love all the parts of me! The spontaneous side and the side that wants to hide away.
4:56 this is actually eye opening bc I’m not formally diagnosed with autism but I’m diagnosed with adhd and I didn’t like taking the meds that were supposed to help but I couldn’t figure out why. I’m almost certain I’m autistic and if so it would make so much sense
I’m in the process of a diagnosis, apparently it was pretty blatant that I have autism since LITERALLY EVERY appointment she says how she’s 100% on it but still has to go through the procedure. She says she was confident before the diagnosis as well. A week ago my mother said my brother as ADHD, literally didn’t know that and he was diagnosed as a kid. I relate a lot to these videos so I think I have both. Also in my diagnosis I did show signs of both.
I was also diagnosed with autism first though late in my 30s. I think because there’s actually meds for ADHD, they are even slower to diagnose ADHD. This makes no sense to me. If there’s a medication that helps people, let them have it. On the shortage, why can’t we make more? There’s way too much viagra floating around. No one NEEDS that.
2:46 I feel so attacked right now. And I'm laughing my ass of due to relatability 4:56 Never been on meds, but a pretty close description of me right now. I'm pretty sure my ADHD aspect is completely burned out and its soul is crushed and not interested in anything anymore, so all my Autism that was mitigated by the little bit of ADHD I had is expressing much more strongly and everything is out of balance. But I'm actually having more mini-shutdowns / meltdowns because of it.
That was amazing ! So so so so damn spot on! We need an AUDHD convention, I swear it would be life changing brilliant …thing of the best creative genius human minds hiving and vibing, validating and quieting, and what extraordinary stuff and beautiful relationships would come from it…💜💜💜I LOVE my people. 💜💜💜
With purpleellaandcoco, at around 5:03 I have been learning not to guilt myself basically for that very same issue. Tripping over social issues with my ADHD at one point, only to get my ADHD meds again and have no more dopamine seeking social drives but still having the responsibility of upholding my commitments made prior to medication....
I wanna know more about this and this comp was really helpful because my friend has possible auDHD and she says that I just have adhd when I relate to a lot of these things so im glad I have a way to research
Fun fact that might be helpful Autistic people have a 70% chance of having a 2nd disorder, if you have already diagnosed autism, you may have adhd or something simular Idk the percentages but not as many people with adhd have autism, if you have already diagnosed adhd you might not have autism but it’s still possible because of the 70% autistic ppl thing
At 4:56 I'm not diagnosed but that what it feel like for me when I'm in school in stuff I loud and overshare and stuff but it stress me out and I end needing to hide away
I watched a lecture by a Neuroscientist from DARI-it was 5yrs. old-her research said 1/59 in the US is Autistic. Not sure if that has changed since then, but that # surprises me! Aaaaannndd...☠️ Lemonade.
I would follow Helenas advice... If i could concentrate long enough on what's shes saying. But there's a bin lorry outside and I've just seen a squirrel The majority the time i view food as fuel, even though taste is important to me, i only really experience the first few mouthfuls and the last few mouthfuls.
Hhh I’m so confused So I’m on the path to possibly getting diagnosed with autism, right? So, I went to an arcade today. It was HELLA loud but I wasn’t bothered by it all that much. Maybe because my friends were there and I was happy? Maybe it’s because I was focused on the games? Who knows!
For me, I don't mind a lot of noise or loud music, but bass is the absolute devil and no matter how weak or strong it will make my whole body feel on edge and amp up my irritability if I can't escape. Sometimes it's not just the sound in general but a certain aspect. And other times it's maybe you are distracted enough by something else to make the normally overwhelming thing tolerable...
I don't have ADHD, just autism, but I really relate to a lot of these things.
I have ADHD, not autism, and I relate to most of these things
Does anyone have any weed
these replies r so funny also i might have both?
i have adhd but was never tested for autism. i relate to a lot of these and a lot of other autistic traits so i'm pretty sure i have it but i don't want to spread misinformation or people to think i'm faking it
Me, until I realized I have both
I've never seen a compilation of exclusively Autism-ADHD Tiktoks, this makes me very happy :) Finally, something 1000% relatable
God yes! I know right? 💜
I'm pretty sure I have both, considering my twin has both and we are very similar. My parents haven't noticed because we have different needs, he has more social issues, I have more sensory issues, we both have volume issues and odd humor.

Having both is a continuous lesson in finding that balance in life.
I'm happy that I can finally accept myself and not be ashamed of my traits.
THANK YOU i have formally diagnosed autism and self diagnosed adhd, this is so freakin validating, i feel seen and understood
Formerlly??
Oh nvm I read wrong
Energy menu and daily quadrants. BRILLIANT.💡
I didn’t realize that AuDHD meant Autism and ADHD I thought it was just one of those things people spell weird for no reason 😭💀😂
THANK YOU
I struggle so much with organization because i make plans but never follow through and always go do something else
These tiktoks are fun and helpful, thank you!!!

AuDHD is a paaaaain
But I also love it. I love all the parts of me! The spontaneous side and the side that wants to hide away.
bro im autistic and ADHD and omfg all of this is soooooo relatable.
4:56 this is actually eye opening bc I’m not formally diagnosed with autism but I’m diagnosed with adhd and I didn’t like taking the meds that were supposed to help but I couldn’t figure out why. I’m almost certain I’m autistic and if so it would make so much sense
Of course all of this is supremely relatable… but I tell ya…
@7:53-9:05 HIT ME and had me bawling.
I’m in the process of a diagnosis, apparently it was pretty blatant that I have autism since LITERALLY EVERY appointment she says how she’s 100% on it but still has to go through the procedure.

Organized chaos
Thank you so much for pointing all of these out.
I struggled to find the words.
6:35 - so relatable
These timestamps comfort me so much for no reason.
Omg i love your comps 🌸❤️

That was amazing ! So so so so damn spot on! We need an AUDHD convention, I swear it would be life changing brilliant …thing of the best creative genius human minds hiving and vibing, validating and quieting, and what extraordinary stuff and beautiful relationships would come from it…💜💜💜I LOVE my people. 💜💜💜

This is helpful because I’m 100% certain I’m ADHD but less sure about autistic… but every single one of these is me!
the 3rd(?) tiktok, at around 0:50 , is suuuper helpful. definitely going to be using these tips later.
Please make more!
Omg I’m audhd too and I can relate to every tik tok in this compilation
I have diagnosed autism and self diagnosed adhd and I only just realised it recently, so thank you so much for this compilation!
Wait, it’s normal to not want people in your space (ex. Bedroom), I thought I was just overprotective and weird
I specifically hate when people are in my space, looking at my stuff or worse touching them or if they bring dirty clothes or feet near my bed.
Oh, I looovvve the ideas in the second clip. I struggle BAD with scheduling, bt get NOTHING accomplished without it.
With purpleellaandcoco, at around 5:03 I have been learning not to guilt myself basically for that very same issue.

So helpful! Love the doompiles thing 😅
These TikToks read me like a fucking book
I wanna know more about this and this comp was really helpful because my friend has possible auDHD and she says that I just have adhd when I relate to a lot of these things so im glad I have a way to research

OMG that segment where the lady's cabinet wrestling made me roflmao and at the @4:00 also lol
oh fuck gotta have another diagnosis i see
I have both, this is a cool video thanks!
Thank you!
I would follow Helenas advice... If i could concentrate long enough on what's shes saying.

0:08-0:46
This is me-
Hhh I’m so confused
So I’m on the path to possibly getting diagnosed with autism, right?
So, I went to an arcade today. It was HELLA loud but I wasn’t bothered by it all that much. Maybe because my friends were there and I was happy? Maybe it’s because I was focused on the games? Who knows!
For me, I don't mind a lot of noise or loud music, but bass is the absolute devil and no matter how weak or strong it will make my whole body feel on edge and amp up my irritability if I can't escape.
Sometimes it's not just the sound in general but a certain aspect. And other times it's maybe you are distracted enough by something else to make the normally overwhelming thing tolerable...
Also, not all autistic people mind loud places or loud music or whatnot.
I'm most likely autistic (i have many autistic traits) and ADHD runs my mom's side of the family, so I might just have both of them...
6:05 Leaving this comment to check this part again.
I totally resonate with 4:57
Oh dear. Time to do more research
Hope things go well for you!
Samesies!!
I have both so it’s relate able
I thought I was just autistic.. Yipee...
Uh oh
It might Not only be adhd guys 😢
First one best one
I feel seen😊
❤
I really hate self diagnosing but like...some of these hit way too close.
Self diagnose it's not I saw one video I think I have it no it months of looking into it and the symptoms ect
You can self-dx, but please do more research.
