Agreed, but wait until your 40’s… going out at all just feels weird now and it makes me sad.
Some of us are autistic in our 20s, were autistic in our teens, will be autistic in our 30s … I think you get the general idea.
Speak for yourself.
You’re probably right, I am just in that awkward phase and have 2 small children. I hope to bounce back once I’m 50 and they are more independent. My situation is obviously different from others.
Tell me you’re lying
So there’s hope, @Obituary@lemmy.world!

I’d love to have my 30s back.
30s?
Feel like I’ve been like this all my life tbh.
That’s unfortunate. I basically had unlimited energy until my mid-thirties.
Such is life with ADHD.
Doesn’t the H stand for Hyper?
Kinda, its hyperactivity, but ADHD isn’t just bouncing off the walls with the inability to focus. It can manifest in other ways. Theres a variety of symptoms that come with it.
I’m not exactly the classic example but a lot of the symptoms like hyper focus, making split second decisions, executive dysfunction, fidgeting, etc. I have along with co-morbid anxiety and depression from it being untreated for so long. Medication helps but your brain being in overdrive constantly is exhausting.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. I have all of those behaviors except for executive dysfunction, anxiety, and depression. I keep 4 different toys on my desk to fidget with during meetings. I get bored and need something to entertain me while people take way too long to explain things. The Rubik’s cube works best, but I get bored with that too, so I have a few others.
I feel that. Messing with stuff can actually help me focus sometimes but usually im just bored lol.
My coworkers thought I wasn’t listening to them at first and were surprised when I was able to repeat everything they said word for word, despite the fact that I was solving a Rubik’s Cube. They seemed pretty amazed when I was the one talking about complex subjects while still solving the Cube. I’ve always been able to split my attention like that. When I was younger I used to be able to hold a verbal conversation while typing a letter and not mess up either of them. Unfortunately 20 years of barely, hops, and bong resin affected that skill.
I go out about two times a week and I’m almost 40. I don’t get why you people are so tired.
I think it’s just a numbers game. As you get older certain things just break down. Injuries, chronic illness etc. not everyone gets it, in fact you’re statistically unlikely to get any one thing, it just compounds to send more and more people to the sideline.
That means you’re old.
But I’m still young at heart, as long as I’m still in bed by 11:30pm on weekends.
Thank god this isn’t me!
Now I’m just wondering how Europeans and Latin Americans regularly stay up late and start dinner at like 11pm while others seem to have issues talking to a friend after 7pm. lol
Thank god this isn’t me!
Yet.
lol. Just turned 34 recently and was able to stay up all night while on vacation.
Def not something I do regularly but the biggest secret I’ve found is to have at least a drink or two a week (that sometimes puts me to sleep now lol). Then when I need to drink late/all weekend I actually can! I normally just smoke we’d
I do tend to stay up kinda late normally, tho
They take naps! It’s part of their culture. Heck, Spanish businesses will shut down in the middle of the day so people can go home and sleep.
