“Use a planner!” I have a stack of them! They go unused after 10 days because ADHD.
“Just make a routine!” Great! Done! The moment it gets interrupted it becomes impossible to go back to, because ADHD 😄
“You just need discipline!” My barely-functional life is the result of already more discipline than you can muster on your best day because - you guessed it - ADHD 🙃
It's the second point there that makes me think I'm not just autistic.
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
