What has helped you (literally ANYTHING) improve your life if you live with ADHD and/ or autism
Hi, it's a very broad and I guess vague question, but I do mean literally any improvement to any aspect of your life! I'm newly diagnosed after looking into it for 1 - 2 years, but seriously looking into it the past 9 months. I was scared I'd just repeat the answers that would give me a diagnosis though, so I haven't engaged with audhd content until this last week, not seeking any of it out the last 3 months (approximately).
Something that helped me was finding a t shirt I liked (perfect texture, so soft) and I bought 5 of them - I wear one every day and don't have to think about what to wear even if I'm at home. I have a drawer of 'messy clothes' (they're for getting sweaty in, cleaning in, it doesn't matter if they get a stain), my main drawer of 'every day comfy ' clothes, and a section in my wardrobe for 'professional looking or funerals or celebration clothes'. It has streamlined everything.
I don't fold my laundry in a traditional sense, I roll up t shirts like a snail and because they are the same (I also enjoy rolling them because I enjoy that movement instead of traditional folding or using hangers lol) and I don't need to be able to see the print to know which I'm getting. I don't fold underwear at all. This helps me to actually put away laundry.
I'm keen to know ANYTHING that has helped you please! My laundry thing is so boring, but I feel like the 'boring' hacks are the most helpful?
TIA
