How do you get through the day?

NAS71232

I have undiagnosed ADHD and autism. I'm told by others in life and online. I know it.

I'm sensitive to loud noise and distruption. I can function when alone. It's gettng worse with age. 

Is anyone else here experiencing the same? What would be your ideal situation?

  • I'm finding it worse as I get older, I don't like noise and disruption, I too am in my 60's although I was diagnosed 13 years ago, there dosen't seem to be much help or understanding of how adults are affected, let alone the effects of aging and being autistic and ADHD.

    I think it's important for us older ones to get diagnosed, even if we don't get any help right now, if it's on our medical records then it could effect how we're treated after something like a stroke or if we need care or develope dementia. It would be little things that you don't really think about day to day that could effect your care and after care. 

    Are you working in a busy loud place?

    One of the things I'm finding really dificult is people flashing xmas lights both on their front doors and in their gardens, if I lived opposite a house like that I'd have my curtains shut all day.
