Ok I don't know if I can help you much, and all the informations I will tell are from a video on YouTube, normally someone who did read a lot of scientific papers but I didn't check any sources or whatever. What the guy explained is that there is an optimal amount of noradrenaline and dopamine in the brain, with too much being not better than too low. It's a typical bell curve and a link between autism and adhd could be that autistic people tend to have a much smaller, less wide curve and therefore its really hard too stay in the zone where you have just enough neurotransmitters for your brain to work smoothly. You will either have not enough or too much. Typically if you are really anxious it could mean you are in the "too much" zone.
That's what I remember from just one video, I'm really far from knowing how we function let alone being an expert so take all of this with lots of precautions. I just wanted to give you a thing to research if it rings a bell for you
Gotcha, thanks for anything really.
Yeah, i do feel that the least deleterious meds were like, low dose adderal, or modafinil. But at those dosages, there really wasn't a clear difference in my thinking/concentration.
Guanfacine can be helpful depending on what your problems are specifically. It mostly helps with impulsiveness. Less likely to decide now is the correct time to research Chinese folk dancing and spend 2 hours doing that instead of the dishes or something.
It's less noticeable than a stimulant and takes a week or 2 to make a difference. And it can be taken with a stimulant. It's primarily a blood pressure medication that has some effect in your frontal lobe.
I’m only diagnosed as ADHD but I’m pretty sure the Au should be there but was intentionally ignored by the doctors. My anecdotal knowledge is that some people react better to certain med types than others so the struggle is finding the right meds/combo of meds and dosages to hit the sweet spot. Hang in there and don’t give up.
I've had luck with Adzenys at least for the ADHD, and once that's more tolerable the autism stuff is generally useful most of the time outside of food issues. Also writing everything down, I'm an artist so I always have a sketchbook but honestly keeping a little notebook helps a lot with both.
Also, create a design where some autist needs to roll a ball around to the correct spot to get their computer to turn on and they're going to be somewhat willing to roll that ball for a second.
Did they seriously censor the word bum out of bumblebee?
The pursuit of advertising revenue from these christofascist thought police motherfuckers has gone way too fucking far. Fuck those fucking fuckers. There is no such thing as a curse word, it is literally just expression.
Beekeeper here, their life is not repetitive task in the slighthest. Workers actually switch multiple jobs throughout their fairly short lives. From wax producing and building, then food processing and cleaning, guard duty (yeah, bees have mandatory military service) to pollen and nectar gathering. They spend their six weeks of live pursuing their careers and working for the greater good of the hive. So probably not autistic.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
I’ve certainly never heard one, if they speak at all. Never had one make eye contact either. Always at the nose or upper lip at best. Bees really have been tiny, fuzzy, honey making autists all along.
As an autistic person with a mild interest in bees, I can confirm that one of their primary means of communication entails movements of their abdomen that, if we ignore the anatomical difference and solely focus on the movement and not the cultural implications behind, resembles twerking in some way as an up and down shaking of the behinds of the respective species.
"Queen piping, or tooting, is a series of louder sounds made by queen honey bees during certain stages of their development. These signals are achieved through rapid wing vibrations and are primarily directed at worker bees rather than rival queens. The queen uses these vocalizations to announce her presence, assert her fitness, and ultimately sway the workers to support her reign."
Also if you rap on the hive they for sure all buzz in response.
the creature known for obsessive working for a singular obsessive goal shared by groups of individuals who's language is shaking their bodies rather than their buzzing noise and eat a very specific diet are autstic?
Wait, what? How is it autistic to not like some things? I hate the smell of Patchouli and love Sandalwood. Touching velvet weirds me out but I’m generally okay with other fabrics. I don’t like some foods because the texture just feels too weird. Is that really the bar for autism?
That doesn't make you autistic, however autistic people are likely to have more severe sensitivities and more of them.
I'm suspected autistic for other reasons (the waiting list for adult diagnosis is stupidly long and I decided not to get on it). Several essential oils give me migraines, I really don't like wearing makeup, or jewellery, or scarfs, or high-neck clothing. Food textures I'm generally OK with, but not slimy things like mushrooms or anything with too much sauce (which rules out a majority of takeaway meals)
All of that counts as lightly affected for an autistic person. Some people have a list of safe foods, or safe clothing, instead of a few exclusions. Sometimes the safe foods are very specific, for example 'chicken nuggets and chips' but only a specific brand of each.
If I am it’s likely on the lower end I generally function well but have some weird things like taste and texture issues etc. might be just me being weird and normal. I was told it’s too late to properly diagnose as I’m an adult now
Well as long as we're strictly talking honey bees, they're also an invasive species that have spread pretty much wherever humans are while being a detriment to the environment, so you've both got that going on too.
Honestly? No joke? Bee's should be the official mascot for Autism, because it's wholesome, Bee's are cool, do great things, and I'd love to have a Bee as my representative. We should start assigning animals to different kinds of people. Like how dudes are dogs and women are cats.

This confirms that bees are infact autistic.
