I am diagnosed with Autism, but they believe I possibly have ADHD and going through assesment.
I am crippled by anxiety and my mind is constantly "on" going in tangents. If this is ADHD I wondered if the medication would slow my mind down a touch so I can hold conversations and be a bit calmer. But, oddly this assists my work, my work is fast paced, creative, the full on mind mode gets a lot of work done in differing disciplines. My worry is what if the meds make my mind numb? I was misdiagnosed in youth and put on antipsychotics and they destroyed me, when I hit meltdown or struggle with sensory issues, I rely on my mind to deescalate, when I can't think clearly, I am constantly on a meltdown loop.
In my case, if they officially diagnosed ADHD would the meds hinder and not just calm the mind, but change it? I feel I just need a small assistance to control it if that makes sense.
