I am on the spectrum, and I also have some mental health issues. I don't take medications, though; I don't really trust them too well. I prefer to take natural supplements.

Got autism, likely ADHD, no meds, therapy is cool though.

ADHD, inattentive type. Never medicated, but as I've grown older I've found ways to get around it.

ADHD isn't so much of an attention deficit problem as it is an executive function deficit problem. The most frustrating thing for me is it makes it exceptionally difficult to tackle and especially finish personal projects.

I'm well into adulthood now, and I'm watching my teenage kid go through the exact same issues I did in school. It's like, you know what you need to do, you have everything you need to do it, you have every intention of doing it, you sit down to actually do the thing and your brain just goes, "Blehhhhhhh...."

I have Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD. I do take medications.

That sucks, I am sorry to hear that. I also have ADHD, so it makes it really hard for me to multitask, concentrate, and remember some things. It also makes me space out sometimes, and I even get racing thoughts a lot.

I do and I was diagnosed when I was 6 years old. I started to talk well in the later months at that age. High functioning autism is what I have.

Plenty of people on here with a fair different number of disabilities. Myself included (Spina bifida).

About 20% of all gamers have some sort of disability that affects them according to the University of Washington's data (as well as Census data from here in the UK too).

I recommend you have a nose at groups like AbleGamers.com (who advise most of the big publishers and get disabled people help with accessiblity to games), or caniplaythat.com

Nope, these conditions are made-up with aim to sell you drugs that will never cure them. If you're taking drugs you will never get rid of "ADHD" as you only suppress your symptoms, it will only get worse as you build tolerance for the drug.

That's a nice scam, how do you battle social isolation by isolating yourself by spending more time in front of a screen.

Autism Spectrum Disorder can be managed. An autistic adult like myself has to separate fantasy from reality.

Cool, demonstrate your empirical data on how these are made up and the peer reviewed scientific data is wrong.

Show me how these conditinos DID NOToccurred across the world, showing it's not a conpiracy.

YOu sound like you're in the US swallowing silly conspiracy nonsense.

How is two charitable free concerns who help others in any way a scam?

I don't believe scientists, because they lie as pandemic showed, they convinced people that experimental gene therapy was a "vaccine" and that it's safe despite nobody doing proper trials.

Scientists also convince you there is human made climate change which is a meme, because human activity is tiny compared to size of Earth and Sun - climate is regulated by Sun and has always been changing.

So using "science" as an argument in 2023 is a joke. "Science" these days serves those who pay, they even made science a democratic field and say things like 99.8% of scientists agrees that climate change is man made, except in science every breakthrough has always been made by minority, so 99.8% doesn't mean anything other than up to 99.8% of scientists is on somebody's payroll.

And how do I know there is no ADHD? Becaue nobody had it in the 90s when I went to school. But there was no smartphones and social media to constantly distract you, so it was easier to focus on things. No amount of drugs will help you if you conditioned your brain to constantly be bombarded with new information.
