I am ADD and score relatively high on the autism spectrum. I’m a generalist and also have some rejection anxiety (social anxiety doesn’t describe me, I like (and am good at) spending time with lots of people once I’m there; I just get anxious about seeing people beforehand). Interestingly, presently doctors won’t diagnose ADHD and autism concurrently. Tangent: Has anyone read The ADHD-Autism Connection? Seems like in might be relevant to a lot of us.
Anyway, welcome! We tend to be really protective of our signal to noise ratio here so you’re right to be cautious. A blog is probably a good idea for your really undeveloped thoughts but you can probably post some things here. Are your ideas about things that have already been discussed on here and on OB? Maybe reply to this comment with an example of the kind of thing you’d like to post.
