Hello friend,

You're not alone, i can relate on many levels.

We are roughly the same age, both have young children, and endure similar afflictions.

- interpersonal interpretation and perception (reading people) - meeting new people is a herculean effort of the mind - learning via lecture is not possible (i am a self learner) - i crave a stable framework for navigating the world outside my mind - i react poorly in some situations that challenge my mental social framework

I have been diagnosed with severe ADD at a young age, but over the past 10 years of introspection, i feel like i have a complex scenario of having both ADD and Autism.

Most days i avoid trying to pin down "what" to call it, but instead i focus on building my internal mental frameworks that make me feel in control of my life.
