It's kinda concerning how people often are taking normal reactions/behaviors and labeling them as autistic or ADHD.
Coughing can't possibly be a symptom of any illness because I sometimes cough without being sick.
Everyone pisses, but if you did it 50 times a day you’d go to a doctor.
Say it louder for the people in the back.

Much obliged.
Not a problem.
I'm not sure if it applies to autism to the same degree, but that's actually one of the main problems with ADHD:
Most of our symptoms are things that neurotypicals struggle with too, but taken to 11 because of congenital differences in neurochemistry including but in no way limited to chronic dopamine deficiency.
There is an issue in autistic individuals with textures. And it's an issue you can't really understand if you don't suffer it. Yeah, I dress by texture rather than fashion. And those tags are hellish to me and many other autistic people in ways that only them understand.
It's kinda concerning and pretty annoying when some people start with the "this is a normal reaction, not an autistic thing".
Infuriating since annoyances are equated with real suffering. I always try to explain that yes, there are things which NT can experience but they have a scale from 0 to 100 and ND scale can be wildly off like > 4000% which can cause a whole range of psychological as well as physical issues.
Yep.
And while > 4000% is hyperbolic, a whole lot of normies just refuse to entertain the notion that you're being serious, not hysterical, that this kind of thing is actually fairly well studied.
Its like guys just telling gals 'its just a period, how bad can it be?' or gals telling guys 'its just a flu, how bad can it be?'
Yeah, hard to quantify precisely, along some universal scale... but that is because there is no universal scale; different kinds of people experience different levels of measurable agony from different things.
I disagree (it necessarily being hyperbolic), by now it's been proven we can have "real" physical pain (and thereby also damage). Maybe the number sounds exaggerated but we don't know.
By hyperbolic I mean that 4000% is likely not the actually correct specific number, but that it is a much higher number, just maybe not 4000%.
Maybe its more like 12 or 13 or 18, compared to 10.
Basically I am trying to agree with you and say that yes, it is substantially worse, but maybe not literally 4000% worse.
If 100 is 100%, 4000% would be 4000.
Apologies, I'm not natively English so that might pose language and cultural understanding issues (additionally) 😁
Ah, all good!
You speak English better than most Americans, if that's any consolation, hahah!
Thanks, I found out that was the case whan I played mmorpg and assumed some bad English speakers were not native speaking, but they were. Interesting thing in fact.
Still, some things are lost with specific wording or also culturally - worst of all are the things that seem identical but are different (not the average false friends stuff).
You try having ADHD and going 24 hours without food. All you can think about is eating. It’s very distracting. It’s an ADHD thing 🤷♀️
That is literally so easy, I regularly do it by accident because I hyperfocus on some nonsense.
Took me fourteen hours to fix a problem yesterday. I bet it would have taken 4 if I had eaten something during the troubleshooting
Yes but is that worth the utter and complete agony of stopping what you're doing and then starting again 10 minutes later? /s
ironically I often forget to eat and get trapped in binge/fast cycles unless I painstakingly log every single thing I eat.
Btw, a simple alarm on the phone helps me remember when it's time for a meal in my whack schedule.
Erm, late for me to learn but if so: shaking is a symptom from having to eat?
It's a consequence of low blood sugar. Although there are other possible causes.
Hm, maybe I should keep some dextrose on me then.
Same with OCD
