AuDHD
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!
This is a SFW community. Sensitive topics are allowed, but must be properly labeled.

Do it. Maybe keep it in your room for a while if you live with your parents and they’re likely to notice and/or care, but if you live with roommates or a partner, you’re just doing maintenance by updating warped, damaged cutlery (unless they’re emotionally attached to this fork, but then just keep it as their personal fork).
It doesn’t have to be a secret, either, unless you live with unreasonable people.
i promise you my partner's family is very reasonable, we just have issues with coordinating transport.
also we were literally just at the thrift store the other day and i completely forgot to look at forks, although i nearly picked up a fruit bowl/banana hook thing but partner's mom eventually put it back.
Ah, I did not consider living with a partner’s family, that would probably make me more hesitant to replace things without checking first.
