A routine? I've never managed to have those. What I do have is having to constantly tell myself to do something. Every. Single. Time. And if it's interrupted for some reason? Fuck me!

Dentist is a condescending jerk about my not brushing my teeth because it is a constant struggle every morning.

AuDHD is a common comorbidity. I am too - it feels like two poorly trained huskies screaming at each other in your brain.

Sending empathetic vibes your way and hope you can get some sort of support/reprieve if you want it 🩵 /gen

ADHD huskie: I need stimulus now!

Autism huskie: Go clean the dishes that have been sitting for a week so you can enjoy yoursef!

ADHD huskie: No.

Austim huskie: Okay then sit around all day doing nothing thinking about how much you don't want to do the dishes.

ADHD huskie: fine

That is a take of the "there are 2 wolves inside you" thing I have never heard before.

I was going to say being susceptible to interruptions isn't just an ADHD thing but I forget I am AuDHD sometimes lol.

I keep trying to build a good morning routine but then garbage day happens and it's lost for the week lmao.

This is why garbage is a two person job! My husband takes the garbage to the can, and the night before, I take the can out! So I can sleep to whatever time. Cause the garbage people either pick it up at fuck early o'clock, or not until the afternoon. No one here is trying to guess, entire street puts it out the day/night before.

Oh yeah I live in the country, it would be a disaster if I did that 😬

We live in the country, and it turns out great that we don't have garbage pickup, because we also have fantastic and nearly complete recycling through a community facility that separates everything... batteries here, cream containers there, corks in this bin, foam there, electronics talk to that gal. Plus we compost or bury everything organic.

It means we pay $7 for a bag of garbage and we have to drop it off near the grocery store, but we only have one black bag every six weeks or so for a household of four.

We have curb side recycling and organics pickup (although I compost most of it at home) and they will fuck up the recycling for fun or if there is even the slightest amount of residue. I rinse out soda cans :(
