Autism

Here are some of the life challenges I have to face with having Autism:

• Social Skills
• Changes in routine are hard
• Stimming

ADHD

Here are some challenges I face on an everyday basis for ADHD

These are ranked on how they affect me on an everyday basis from 1 being affects me the moste everyday to 3 being affects me the least everyday.

1. Distractions (including remembering something I have to do)
2. Stimming
3. Sameness in routine is hard

Some of the items in Autism and ADHD are the same and some are different because Autism and ADHD overlap and contradict each other at the same time.
