5 signs you have adhd & autism🌷

I received my diagnoses for both 5 months ago. While I’m relieved to finally have some answers, I’m also overwhelmed because there isn’t much help for middle age women. Your videos have been helpful 🙏🏽

The fact that it is so tough for others to see the combination of autism and ADHD in us, is precisely why it often takes so long to diagnose us. Even my very obvious son didn’t get his second of the two diagnoses until years later.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Who thinks the DSM is outdated and is in need of some serious revisions with respect to Autism and ADHD especially in females? Also NPD and cluster B personality disorders across the board needs to be reassessed imho.

My wife was diagnosed with ADHD in her twenties and diagnosed with autism in her fifties, we have two sons with autism and two granddaughters with autism, one granddaughter diagnosed with ADHD. So glad you acknowledge that it runs in families. Before my father-in-law passed away my wife noticed that her dad would not look people in the eye, remembering that he was massive intelligent in math and very socially inept she believed he was as well.

As a child, I had a fairly rigid routine imposed on me by both my parents and school, and I thrived in it. As I got older and needed to start managing that routine on my own, everything just fell apart.

I have ended jobs and not picked up the last paycheck. Never closed out banks accounts when I moved. Moved 17 times in 50 years. Been homeless twice. I've also traveled the country several times over. Veteran, and have constructed a life alone and isolated at 70. Never had a long term relationship over 3 years. I wish there was someone around here to talk to about this.

I am interested in learning what ADHD + childhood trauma (CPTSD) have in common.

Yep, this captures the experience pretty succinctly. Diagnosed ASD1 and ADHD-C, and this explains the overlap in a very relatable way! To all those out there figuring themselves out, you're valid and doing great and I hope you find the answers you seek! 💙

Hope you find this helpful and validating! Sorry for the band aid if it triggers you:). I stabbed my finger last night while cutting fruit and was too scared to take it off:). sending Sunday love! xo

I thank you so much for your videos. Without you I may have never been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD as well as CPTSD. Haven't been able to get much help yet but I finally know what's going on for me and why I am the way I am. Thank you. ❤

Thank you so much for your passion and research! 🙏 I love this conversation! I am so grateful that you share your personal stories in your videos, it's precious. You are an inspiration, Dr. Kim 💗 Much love 🤲✨💖

I do a lot of switching & hyperfocus on what interests me. Procrastination is huge also . It’s a mess. Medication has been withdrawn for adhd lately also bc of lack of availability.

This video just confirmed what I've been thinking. I do jump between tasks. Because brain gets bored with one. Also when speaking I can easily start with one topic then move to next, third and then go back to the first. It does confuse other people easily.

Well explained. Now I feel comfortable ruling out also having ADHD after wondering recently.

I was diagnosed with autism 2 years ago at age 56 but have always suspected I have ADHD as well

Wonderful. Thank you. 🌺I'm 59 y/o and have not been diagnosed with what I strongly believe is Autism and ADHD. My daughter was diagnosed, as well as her son, with Autism. Looking back I believe my mom had this as well as her brothers, and mother. I was diagnosed with a variety of anxiety disorders, (among a few other diagnoses), which seem to all correlate to Autism/ADHD. I wish my Amygdala would settle down for one moment, hahaha!! I'm in perpetual fight or flight. Thank you, again. Much appreciation. 💗

I really appreciate the work you are doing here. I was ADHD diagnosed in my early 40s and it was a revelation that created a lot of opportunity for healing and self awareness. Now I'm my mid fifties after much YouTube etc research I convinced my therapist that autism testing felt warranted. She wasn't convinced but arranged it and I ended up testing very high for autism as well. I'm less than a year in already feeling so much more empowered and well regulated, using information I've collected from these videos here. Soooooooo thank you! I'd also like to add (as someone for whom design and lighting are clearly focal interests) that your lighting and makeup and wallpaper are looking beautiful here. I think for many of us well balanced, calm and attractive design can make a huge difference in our ability to stay focused on a video presentation!

I can't get bored. My mind entertains me. If you're boring me, sorry 😞 😅😂.

This is the first of your videos I've seen, thank you very much for making it. I've come to realize I'm probably not just on the spectrum but ADD as well, you really helped me here to contextualize the similarities and differences in a way that will help me better communicate them and advocate for myself. Again, thanks so much, I'm about to deep dive into your videos!
