A place for those that got both Autism and ADHD, those confirmed as one and are suspecting they got the other as well, and also everyone who is neither and just genuinely curious.

Since the combo comes with its own set of challenges, this shall be a place to ask for advice, vent, infodump about special interests and/or just vibe and meme.

Please be respectful. General niceness guidelines apply - formal rules will be added later if necessary.

In regards to medication and medical advice: Please take under consideration that this is only an online support community. Offered advice is always an expression of individual opinions or experiences and shall never be taken as substitute for a professional in-person assessment!

I'm curious to see the types of jobs and work fields that us audhders thrive in since a lot of jobs usually just end up burning us out.

Anyone found a way to make a steady income and not hate the job?

I do CNC machining. A trade job but I really enjoy it. All things considered my workplace is pretty good. I've been enamored with the big ol machines since I first saw em.

I make enough to live for now and the daily stresses rarely come home with me. OT can be an option sometimes too. A perk is the ability to socialize at my desired amount

I build electrical panels but walk past the machine shop every morning and love seeing all the machines that you get to work with. The water jet is my favorite. Also, the press. So f'ing cool.

I haven't worked with water jet cutting myself but I feel it would be awesome to do! The closest I've come would be a wet abrasive blast that I sometimes do at my current job.

But yeah, I love controlling these huge machines and cutting metal. It's just got a sense of creating something behind it that I really enjoy. A physical product I can see and touch that I made.
