Is there an #AuDHD version of something like the RAADS-R?

The autistic urge to explain everything fully, so nobody has gaps in their knowledge and needs to ask questions.

✅ Do you suspect you have #autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?
✅ Are you late-diagnosed with #AuDHD ( #ASD + #ADHD )?
✅ Are you still trying to identify your traits and describe your experiences to access support?

Interesting Monotropism questionnaire, link below.

I hope the topic gets more research.

Monotropism is a theory of autism developed by autistic people, initially by Dinah Murray and Wenn Lawson.

https://monotropism.org

“Monotropism Score: 231 / 235
Average: 4.91

This score means that you are more Monotropic than about 99% of autistic people and about 100% of allistic people.”

Questionnaire: https://dlcincluded.github.io/MQ/

If you enjoy the content I create, you should check out my books!

The New Normal looks at neuronormativity in society and how it affects Autistic people.

Unusual Medicine talks about my experiences as an Autistic addict.

Even if you can't check out my books right now, sharing this post really helps me out.

We have been dealing with an insurance company and it has been a complete nightmare.

I’m sure I’m not alone.

It can be difficult to get through a burnout. I’m in the midst of one now.

Any helpful suggestions that worked for you?

Sometimes it is difficult for me not to bring up a special interest in conversation. And I can’t read when others aren’t really interested in hearing about it.

Do you ever do this?

Have you ever come up with an original way of doing something, only to be told it won’t work?

Are you limited in what foods you can eat? I was considered a picky eater when I was growing up. I still habitually eat the same things over and over again.

Do you struggle with trying new things to eat?

I do.

Have you ever been told that you need to “open up more”? I didn’t understand what that meant for a long time. And it never went well for me when I did.

Do you use subtitles when they are available? I seem to be using them more often. They really are helpful.
