  • Not in this way but I stopped taking my methylphenidate as I just couldn’t cope with the side effects.

    I had no appetite but was hungry yet it make me feel sick, I would sweat constantly and could never just wear a t shirt without a hoodie due to embarrassment and finally it was so much stress trying to source the medication.

    I feel like once I had a handle on life with medication and had gotten into a good routine and made positive changes that I am now in a much better place to handle life. I struggle with executive dysfunction still and I’m finding it hard to get motivated to do anything and work is killing me slowly.








  • Tell us why you want the switch please?

    I’m from the UK where we also have switches, but I never toggle them; so they seem useless to me. We also have the safest plugs, so more don’t really need switches.

    The only people I’ve seen use switches are the people that think saving 2p a year by turning them off is good, or my OCD (not shaming, I’m neurodiverse myself) brother would turn everything off at night and it was a pain in the morning having to remember to turn switches back on.



  • I’ll second this. I don’t have autism, but I do have ADHD and I think we have a lot of parallels when it comes to a social battery.

    The gym is no joke when it comes to having more energy and drive to do more outside of work.

    The first few weeks will not be fun and you’ll be more tired than ever before, but if you preserve then you’ll soon have more energy, feel more alert and generally be healthier. Keeping a good sleep schedule is key too. Go to bed and get up at the same time even on the weekends will work wonders.
