got a request on my other blog involving this term and figured i'd make a flag for it! the top three stripes are from the auti4auti flag, the bottom three are from the adhd4adhd flag, and the symbol is the heart from the auti4auti flag with this audhd symbol in the center.

I feel in my bones that Steph and Evan are both auDHD and would have very different presentations of their neurodiversity. Autism:

Steph would be a very physical stimmer and stim more when she's happy.

She likes tapping her fingers on her pen while writing if she needs a more subtle stim.

Lots of jumping and hitting things when excited.

Conversely, she is also more sensitive to sensory stimuli, particularly audio.

She'll immediately cover her ears if a loud noise happens, and if Evan is with her, his touch calms her down. Though Evan waits for her to initiate the contact because sometimes it can make her meltdowns worse. (I am not projecting I am not projecting I am not projecting) As for Evan, he'd be more reserved:

Evan's stims are more subtle and verbally focused.

He often whispers to himself to calm himself down, usually something funny like "pop pop pop" or a strange noise.

When he's having sensory overload, Evan tends to have more shutdowns than meltdowns.

When he feels overwhelmed, Evan will just listen to Motörhead and zone out; it takes him quite awhile to become verbal again after a particularly intense shutdown.

Evan enjoys sitting quietly with Steph and holding hands or playing with her hair when he feels overwhelmed.

Before HABIT arrived, Evan used to have more of a handle on social cues, though he still struggled with them. However, after being inHABITed, all of his ability to mask was essentially reset. He has more frequent meltdowns/fits of rage as a result. ADHD:

Steph has an easier time focusing if she can listen to music or an audio book.

Steph deals with less hyperactivity than Evan does, but tends to get more intensely hyperfocused on medias and/or tasks.

Steph has to be regularly reminded to keep herself hydrated.

Steph tries her best to plan out her tasks, even if she often forgets some.

Evan doesn't plan anything unless he feels he absolutely needs to, this is how he often winds up spending his entire day in his own world.

Evan often relies on other people to redirect him and/or remind him what he needed to do.

Evan is very fidgety, he rarely ever sits still.

I'm pretty sure most of my dating history is neurodivergent
