A black and white image of a black wolf and white wolf looking at each other with what looks to be the Sun or Moon behind them. The caption above the black wolf says, "One is autistic." The caption above the white wolf says, "One is ADHD." In between and underneath both, it says, "You are over stimulated."
Or understimulated!
Or a superposition of both at the same time!

ADHD is under stimulation which is why a stimulant, (commonly Ritalin or Adderall) works to calm them down.
F ton of reading as I have moderate "ADHD Active"
Ah yes, me at the mall when there's a lot of stuff on shelves and it's a bit too bright
I can be overstimulated and understimulated at the same time.
Yep, super annoying. Like come-on body, make up your mind.
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.
