aro culture is shipping characters together all the time and wanting others to be happy in their relationships but not knowing the first thing about actual romance and you know what that's okay and you do not care because ohmygodlooktheyresocute but make no mistake you are not interested in being affiliated with somone romantically

i literally JUST discovered your blog and it helped me realize more about my asd and (possible) adhd. so first off thank you!!1!
my actual question: okay so i xhew gum waaayyy too often. like i think once i went through five whole pieces. my friends and family, sometimes even teachers have commented on my tendency to chew gum. all. the. mfing. time. recently i have started to feel like this is some form of self-medication ive subconsciously started doing since it helps me concentrate and all that jazz... so is there a possibility that my habit could be the result of adhd symptoms? im trying to figure out if i was misdiagnosed as asd or if im BOTH asd and adhd and the latter just went undiagnosed altogether and every little detail helps!
i have considered that maybe my habit could have resulted from either one but assuming that adhd is the cause, how likely do you think it is? sorry for the long post i got rambly again aack
Chewing gum is something that I used to do all the time, too! It’s a form of Oral Stimming (providing yourself with physical stimulation of some kind, and it usually helps us to focus on other tasks). 
Stimming is something people with ADHD and people with Autism do, so it could really be down to either in your case.
ADHD and Autism have very high comorbidity rates (they occur together in people quite a lot) which means it’s likely that you have both. Sometimes they can be misdiagnosed as each other because of the large overlap, but I think it’s more likely for the misdiagnosis to happen the other way around. 
If you haven’t already seen it, take a look at this ADHD-Autism Venn Diagram I made! It shows the overlapping symptoms between the two, and shows which are separate. I hope you manage to figure it out!

for the ask game
Hanahaki
Enemies to Lovers
Soulmates
Hanahaki: B. Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.
I do enjoy the trope but it's not some of my all time favorite
Enemies to Lovers: C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead
It's kinda overused and it just made me lose interest in the trope quickly
Soulmates: D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.
I am very much not a fan of soulmates. It makes me feel icky when people are destined to be together and not allowing themselves to like experiment different relationships with other to see what will work out.

Hi, I'm a minor who suspects possible ADHD/ASD and is unable to recieve an official diagnosis. Though, key word *possible. I myself am not too keen on self-dxing as I feel... uncertain? as to whether or not the symptoms I am experiencing are truly authentic or not. I don't want to sound egotistical when I say this, but is it possible to have developed healthy coping mechanisms unintentionally? Or to be hesitant to categorize a 'symptom' as a symptom? Because while I relate to small things that might be brought up in shitposts (i.e. comics funnily representing what executive dysfunction feels like) I have trouble relating to a certain commonplace characteristics, such as struggling to prioritize, not being able to make friends, etc.
Great question! I think the first thing to remember when it comes to ADHD/ASD symptoms is that they aren’t all universal. They exist on a spectrum, and some people have certain symptoms while others don’t. It could be the case that your symptoms just don’t look like those of others around you, and that’s pretty common. Even among our common neurodivergence we are all unique.
It should also be said that there is a flip side to a lot of these symptoms. One person can have trouble making friends while another can go out of their way to befriend everyone they meet, and both these people could have the same disorder. Here’s a personal example that I hope helps: A lot of people with ADHD have trouble being on time to things. I am, at the very least, always thirty minutes early to everything. Always have been. I definitely think it’s possible that you can develop healthy coping mechanisms and habits naturally and unintentionally.
And, of course, it could also be that perhaps you don’t fit the criteria for these diagnosis but do share some things like executive dysfunction, etc. It’s hard to tell and I am in no way qualified to tell you, but I always say that if it’s something you’re considering it’s worth looking into whenever you’re able to in the future.  
On a final note: The nice thing about online communities like this is that you don’t need to be diagnosed in order to find resources that can help you. Even if you don’t have ADHD or ASD, if you find tips for dealing with executive dysfunction or other symptoms that are useful to you, you can still use them! I hope this has answered you question!

7) positive (as in like cynical/optimistic? then yeah probably positive)
Thank you!!
I’d question the ‘normal’ part, but otherwise that’s all pretty much right on the money :>
