If you live with autism and ADHD, you know how chaotic your brain can feel — constant overthinking, endless lists, emotional roller-coasters, and focus that vanishes overnight. In this video, Dan from The Aspie World shares his honest ADHD and autism meds journey, revealing what it’s really like to experiment with autism medication and ADHD stimulants as an AuDHD adult.

Many people on the autism spectrum are unsure about meds. Some are completely against medication; others can’t function without it. Dan explores both sides, explaining how different antidepressants, stimulant medication for ADHD, and SNRI treatments can impact focus, mood, and executive dysfunction. He also discusses how rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), anxiety, and low confidence play into the struggle to even ask for help.

You’ll learn how autistic adults often face overlapping needs: autism demands routine and hyperfocus, while ADHD floods the brain with too many tasks at once. Dan dives into the neuroscience of ADHD and autism, showing why certain medications for autism and ADHD can bring balance by improving emotional regulation, motivation, and productivity.

Whether you identify as AuDHD, Level 1 autism, or are exploring your own mental health journey, this video is packed with real-life insight — no medical jargon, just lived experience.

⚠️ This isn’t medical advice. Always speak to your doctor before trying any medication.

I have AudHD too. I was diagnosed with Autism year ago and ADHD like 17 years ago. I’m having such a hard time at work and just support in general. Everyone is like oh you’re fine but I’ve been struggling for years. It just looks fine to others, they would rather think of me as scattered, lazy, messy and irresponsible and we’re just looking for excuses

This is why we like caffeine so much 😵‍💫

I don't know about taking meds for my autism and ADHD. With all the side effects I hear all the time on tv on other meds. That's why I smoke cannabis and sometimes take mushrooms. That's what helps me with my depression and anxiety and levels out my ADHD

I have both ADHD and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). My ADHD medication, dexamfetamine, also improves certain aspects of my autism. For example, it speeds up my information processing to a point where information comes in more fluently. This also makes the world around me feel more fluid and less intense or "stuttery," which I like.

It has massively improved my sound sensitivity. I can actually filter sound properly when in public, to the point where I can sit in a busy restaurant and not be bothered by the noise around me. It has also improved my ability to express my feelings in a better way. This isn't even talking about the ADHD benefits.

I will say that medication can be quite a journey, and it's not perfect. But being able to go out and listen to a live band for multiple hours and actually enjoy the experience without headphones is something I deeply appreciate.

That rejection disforia thing really hits me hard! Just cant cope sometimes ... this is a massive battle for me!! Pull my hair out 😮

I'm glad somebody found their balance ⚖️ I'm still searching for the ADHD/ antidepressants correct mix.

I feel the need to spread awareness: if you have constant heart palpitations like I have, PLEASE try beta blockers. It doesn't take away my anxiety, but it makes it so that my anxiety isn't debilitating while I'm trying to function normally. I'm 30 years old, just found out I'm AuDHD last year. All these years I've been begging doctors to listen to me, always telling them the same symptoms, and you know what recognized that I was having an autonomic nervous system response? Freaking AI!! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Of course you have to fact check, but it makes me so angry that doctors aren't doing their jobs. I have a long way to go, but now I can talk to people and drive without feeling like a swarm of bees is going to burst through my chest. 😭😭

AuDHD’r here. Still not medicated officially.. smoke a bit of herb to help regulate and relax. But at this point, I’d rather smoke recreationally and have a try the medication.
I wonder if I could live a happy smoke free life. Regulated and chilled

I've taken Elvanse from 60 down to 30 and I had to stop. I do have cPTSD as well tho. I have tried for months at a time mirtazipine, Sertraline, Duloxetine, and shorter periods escitalopram, Venlafaxine. I'm currently on Vortioxetine. It's been incredibly difficult titrating meds whilst parenting, especially during school holidays. I wish I'd understood these conditions and the potential impact on family life before I'd had children. There is little to no government aided support for autistic/ and or ADHD people where I live. There is if you can pay for it. I can't. Guess how much support I get... Lucky my kids 😑😐😑😐

I sometimes wish that there was medication for autistic people who are not audhd. I have Irlen syndrome and autism spectrum disorder. I find caffeine helps me get through the day with more than one coffee a day. It helps me out

My son has been diagnosed with autism and adhd.he is 4. I don't have knowledge on it. He doesn't want to speak but he can understand me. The doctor said he has vocabulary but thinks it's useless, but he will speak, we will be going for speech therapy . I'm teaching him how to be independent and he is doing better than I thought he would. He scripts everything from the TV. We also under Meds to calm him down, he is too hyper. Thank you for the video. I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦

I take medicine for schizoaffective disorder, and I believe it dampens down my autistic traits. I don't have ADHD, at least, I don't think I do.

My MBTI was INTP-T, so I’m not sure if I’m actually AuDHD or my cognitive functions just make it seem like it at times. Although based on what I’ve read about AuDHD I definitely have exhibited many signs throughout my life lol. I have recently been experimenting with a lot of supplements… racetams, vitamins, amino acid, adaptogens etc. and have started to find some things that work for me which is amazing. I always wondered why it was so damn hard for me to function normally no matter how much “willpower” or “discipline” I tried to conjure. Still some tweaking to do and by no means a miracle by man on man it’s great to gain some headway and understanding about this stuff.

1st id like to thank you i had emailed you a while back with a list about my self . after your positive response it pushed me to get my self tested it turns out i am like you as i was diagnosed lv1 autism this week . i was diagnosed severe adhd as a kid but they only did 1 or the other way back when i was a kid now im 42 will be 43 in a few weeks. my autism flew under the radar for a vary long time . adhd meds have never worked for me . but never took any thing for autism . so im debating on asking my doctor if there is anything they can give me to help that part. my anxiety has been getting worce over the years .so with this new info on my self im hopeing to get better controle of my self ..

@hectatusbreakfastus6106 10 months ago

I've recently got diagnosed with autism and adhd I have started taking medication for adhd and it's helped my mind calm down a lot, I am not constantly jumping from though to though and am able to focus a lot more. It's nice but I will have to see how it goes long term as it's only been a month like this now. I only got my diagnosis a month and a half ago

I have audhd also. I have not gone down the medication route yet. I have used Rhodiola ( plant supplement ) for many years alternating between that and lions mane.

They help me with focus. I feel hesitant to try a medication though feel if I could reduce adhd impact I could focus to complete tasks that I don’t hyper focus on.
Rhodiola is an amazing natural option for anybody looking
