as an ADHD& mild Autism, I’ve been wanting to make this fc for a long time :3
And nah, I don’t take pills or anything like that, I just embrace it, but your choice.

@serif6824 I'm glad you felt happy enough to explain that 😁 so in the UK, Asperges is seen as an 'outdated term' as we run off a number system now for ASD diagnosis. So level 1 is for people identified to need minimal support to get through day to day activities and social activities (they can navigate these but it's difficult and keeping friendships is hard), level 2 functioning adults are seen to need substantial support (I work with a range of level 2 functioning ASD students and they're all different 😁) these people are usually identified to have developmental delays and have more common and noticeable ASD symptoms, then level 3 functioning people are those that need a very substantial support, these are usually individuals who may use noises to communicate or limited words, they repeatedly things constantly and struggle meeting our set developmental milestones.

Before we did have Asperges, high functioning, low functioning etc, but we now base it on levels of support needed to help the individuals navigate life. Psychology and working with neurodivergent people is a massive passion of mine 😁 again, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Ello! I have ADHD (or maybe it was ADD, my memory is terrible), Autism and numerous Psychosis problems. (Schizophrenia or something similar and also another one that I haven't figured out which specific one)
