#also i said audhd bcs its a symptom of both

Struggles of audhd: your body doenst tell you that you need to pee (or any other bodily functions like eat) so then you don't pee all day and then you're doing stuff and then you sneeze.

If it's not clear I peed myself. I was gonna put this in the tags but let's actually talk about it cuz a lot of people don't talk about the lack of interoception part of ADHD and autism.

symptoms of interoception: weird responses to pain or other stimuli, stress, or emotions, difficulty recognising and reporting symptoms of illness, incontinence and constipation, bad at registering hunger levels.

I don't pee unless I'm desperate. I don't eat unless I'm starving. I don't drink water like, ever. I don't realise I'm stressed until I'm having a shutdown, I'm super bad at registering that I'm cold, partly due to nerve damage but mostly due to this. I don't realise I'm cold till I put my hand on my stomach and it's literally freezing. I was about to say I don't have any problems recognising heat or pain but then I realized my signature thing is 'heatproof hands' with which I pick up bread right out of the oven and tubs full of boiling water. So I guess that's not true.
