For years I’ve mused about making a meme, with two panels… first panel is a banquet with the title “How I eat the first day after shopping”, second panel is a wilted piece of lettuce on a plate titled “How I eat the other 6 days of the week”.
I just assumed I have zero impulse control, afaik I’m not ADHD… like you I have an autism diagnosis (along with bipolar II) but often wonder if I have ADHD. TBF a lot of the symptoms of a manic state are very similar to ADHD.
Inattentive: People may find paying attention, staying organized, or finishing tasks challenging.
Hyperactive-impulsive: Symptoms include restlessness, fidgeting, and talking excessively.
Combined: A combination of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types.
A psychiatrist I’ve watched on YouTube has a video about how to tell the difference between bipolar and ADHD. She’s pretty good at explaining stuff so maybe it’ll help!
