I've Gotta Say That There Is No Better Achievement As A Neurodivergent Person Than Hyperfixating On A

I've gotta say that there is no better achievement as a neurodivergent person than hyperfixating on a character for so long that you are known as "the 'insert character name here' person"

Whatever gives you comfort, do more of that. Lean into comfort every day. Pack comfort items to bring to school/work such as a cool drink or stim toys, whatever you like. Be about it openly and don't be ashamed. If you need comfort items for stressful situations, don't hide them. In openly doing what feels comforting to you you are 1) telling yourself that you're worth it and 2) you're showing others that it's ok to use comfort items in public. Do you even know how cool that is?

hot take:

crushing on/hyperfixating on fictional characters is a form of self-love. imagining yourself in scenarios, be romantic or platonic, with a fictional character is self-love. i've strugged since 2018 with depression and self-esteem issues, and the best way to remedy that is to be kinder to yourself, right? however, there's no one way to be kinder to yourself. but if your imagination can bring a character to life and tell you how hard youre working or amazing/beautiful you are, its basically you coming up with a conversation in which you're reassuring yourself what you want to hear. <3

Are there resources on the intersection of autism and adhd? Because I'm reading the official German diagnosing questionaire right now and half of it is bullseye, half of it is the opposite of me, but very autism. I know a bunch of people have both and I have all of these quirks that are not autism, but very adhd, so I guess I have both also.

I decided to talk with my psychiatrist about a possible diagnosis next appointment, but she's not an expert. Is there something I can bring with me?
