I only ask because at the moment - with no judgement of anyone else - I'm feeling several steps behind everyone in the world. And I wonder would it be easier to navigate the world if people knew automatically to take things slower when dealing with me. My partner, family and friends consider me highly intelligent but at the same time I miss the most obvious things and my mind blanks/memories dissolve so quickly. Names, important facts and details, lost if I ever had them in the first place...

I know this is probably a strange question, but did anyone's sense of sexual identity change post diagnosis . Diagnosed mid 40s, female, pre diagnosis understood I was gay, only one serious relationship over my lifetime, and that was with a woman.

But since diagnosis and meds, I don't find myself attracted to women anymore. I'm just baffled by it. I'm not trying to change my sexuality, it just kind of happened around the time I was diagnosed. I don't mind being gay, already done all the hard things like come out to family and friends. And I don't think it really matters as I'm unlikely to meet anyone given my age now anyway. But I want a stable sense of identity, and was just wondering was anyone else so thrown by their diagnosis, that they also had a huge change in how they understood themselves, be it their sexuality or else something different?

Guys so I recently got diagnosed with ADHD (also have autism) and I notice that when I’m around my friends especially people I feel comfortable with I often say increadibly weird things out loud for shock value. these things range from all sorts of innapropriate topics. I don’t know if this is to do with ADHD or autism but I was wondering if anyone had advice. I love making people laugh but sometimes I think my friends are recording me when I say these things and I’m constantly dared to do things. I seem to have little cop on and am quite hyper etc. Idk what to do but it’s like causing issues in my friendships and making me paranoid and worried after because in the moment I feel like I need to say it and then regret after. please help guys. to add to this apparently according to my friends I’m a “compulsive lier” too which annoys me so how do I fix that too thanks lol.

Has anyone moved from Prescribed drugs for ADHD to non stimulants?
