Anyone have adhd as well as autism?

Do you find it to be confusing having a mixture of it. The dysregulation?

never being able to say the right this or think the right things and going to fast and brain in constant burnout.

we all have different energy at different times and different days and different moods and different understandings and different assumptions and different reactions and different ways of speaking and different health.

its impossible to get anything right. 
you can try to sleep at 10pm and the neighbours can blast punk music all night and keep you awake

you can become a night owl because of it but your expected to perform during the day in daylight.

its designed to be a mess. 
if you can’t go out when it’s daylight but nothings open at night. 

the brain and life is always messed up. Adapting to everything and everyone is impossible.

My heads messed up.  I can’t tell if people are saying things to wind me up for a reaction or trying help.

NO IDEA WHICH OR BOTH OR ???

CREATES TROUBLE!!!

CREATES A REACTION THAT THEY THEN DONT LIKE Thinking

    Who designed it to be a mess do you think?

    I would say this sounds like the root cause of the issues. In your shoes I would do something about it as it is clearly causing a chain of events that is messing up the rest of your ability to function.

    You may need to get someone to help you this "sorting them out" by whatever means you choose, but in your shoes that would be my go-to solution.

    I would make sure I have a doorbell camera just in case they get spiteful so you can catch them in the act and set the police on them.

    I have a range of the ADHD traits that overlap with autism and it takes a lot of mental discipline to keep them in check.  It makes for an interesting life to have so much chaos yet desire for order going on at the same time, so I tend to go for a structured chaos which I can make work for me.

    So much chaos yet desire for order, I’m ADHD as well as autistic and that sums it up perfectly, I lose everything, hats, gloves, phones, paperwork etc try my best for order but total haphazard chaos is always the end result.
