Thing to help with autism and adhd (non medical)

190E(Taylor’s version)

So what things what you use to help with adhd or autism and to abide with forum rules dont mention any medical advice of any kind thank you 

For autism I find buttons and dials on my devices if possible and keeping kusic movies and books/cokics/magazines  in categories but non specific ones can help so special interests like music and circus/circus skills/arts dnd lord of the rings l all together then genres wirh as few sub genres as possible ai sit come stand ups soaps cartons I only make sub genres for a specific series or like us sitcom uk sitcom etc but if theres any cross over i just pick a place and stick to it other wise adhd can cause ocd tendencies and I’d like not to end up with full blown adhd becuase thats not good ai I always treat the tendencies wirh interventions 

also for autism sensory lights ear defenders(it helps me speicfily to get a set of Bluetooth ones that have av lead input,a set of radio ones with both those functions too then two other sets one with a low and a higher noise resuction rating to let more or less sound through and also a cheap set for using in shorter bursts where comfort is the least important thing i.e for doing noisy house jobs 

for adhd I need my notes app on my phone a note book a separate note book for hobby related music stuff and for the buisness ai have a Filofax that has a diary notes weekly daily and monthly planner son as well as some pages of income and outgoing when this gets full I’ll copy them into income outgoings books as well as posiblllynhome life ones too I’ll keep this stuff in a filing cabinet with one drawer for work(invoices rhe books l and any thinnnlike lesson plans etc) one for home(with important life documents too) one for my cirucs magazine once I joint the circus friends association lol

alson for adhd (sorry grammar etc is my bad point so im trying to split it into paragraphs as much and as well as I can) a voice recorder like a digital one for notes whilst im bist and will either nkt be able to get my phone out or will forget by then time it’s all done lol I wanna get an old tape based one for my music too as thebanalouge sound will help my sensory stuff feel inspired(also Spotify is good for my adhd to remember songs I want to learn as is ultimate guitar and tidal)

basically anything that helps my sensory needs and helps me organise

oh yeh I have a Jody thats heavy too but it’s not even ment to be a sensory one that I know of it’s just a  navy blue hoody wirh thumb holes  wirh a gold star on I mean if anyone knows of this hoody link me to to becuse mine is falling apart also I have one thats heavy too and it’s grey camo

  • It's comforting knowing I'm not alone out here.  I was recently diagnosed, not at all surprised, at age 42.  I always just thought I was a little 'weird' until I burred out 18 months ago.  I applaud you for being able to use electronics for notes.  I have to use physical notes, otherwise I won't use them.  I guess I've learned how to navigate my adhd for so long that I just sort of deal with it.  My sensory issues and social cues are my hardest struggles.  I wear the same type of shirts all the time because the fabric is soft enough and the seams don't hurt.  I have recently discovered modal fabric shorts and bamboo t-shirts, which are amazingly soft.  I can't do super bright light without sunglasses, even inside, nor high pitch sounds.  Can't do strong smells, can't walk by the perfume counter without covering my face or holding my breath.  I'm learning how to deal with my eating issues as I often don't have an appetite for anything at all.
