ADD/ADHD or autism

[Letmego]

Hey, I don't know how many ppl will c this post. But I got a genuine question. I misplace things every day, I forget about everything unless I write them somewhere. I don't rlly give things much thought bc I know I will forget them later lol. I can't focus on anything, when I play volleyball I daydream and can't focus so much that I can't even play lol. When I was little I got some strange feeling in my body if I sat in one place too much or was doing something monotonous.
I get obsessed with some unimportant things and spend 12 hours a day doing them and then later abandon them completely (this site too). Also sometimes I can't understand meaning of simple words. Guys, do u think I have adhd, autusm, something else or nothing bc it's normal. Thanks to anyone who replies.

Maybe you are right, maybe u are not. I don't know but I refuse to just accept that. I hope I will have more luck in the future, because I truly believe some of us can make it and I just wanna stay positive or else imma end up in a real dark place.

You most likely have one of the two, odds are highest it’s add/adhd since those are most common

You sound a lot like me actually. ADD/ADHD is what it is. Sometimes I throw myself into short lived obsessions too. I call em "kicks". For example, I might spend a whole day searching for information on/thinking about the Vietnam war and I'll say to myself, "I'm on a Vietnam kick right now." Then a week or two later I might spend a day obsessed with learning about Mormonism, or something equally random.

Trust me, if you had autism your obsessions wouldn't be so short lived or diverse.

Tnx I'm glad I found someone like me. I once almost dropped from school bc I was playing lol 12 hours a day. I mean I knew imma be healed in a week (don't even play it now) but it's a serious problem. I got obsessed w serial killers once, everyone thought I was weird and didn't even want to be around me, I even bought some merch, its laying around now unworn. Lost a lot of friends that way too. Scared of my next kick how you call it.

You should have your IQ tested before you make any assumptions about your mental health.
