I’m fairly sure I’m mildly audhd. Not sure if autistic or ADHD (or both) honestly, family never followed up on initial doctor concerns when I was a kid, and I’ve not gotten tested as an adult but have signs of both: focus issues, hyperactivity, eye contact issues, touch sensitivity (I can feel my socks rubbing, pants crinkling at the knee, etc. and it can be seriously distracting/distressing), noise sensitivity, etc.
Stimulants like caffeine and tea help me focus a bit better. And can confirm, coffee is magic. A cup in the morning can get me going, and a cup in the evening will let me sleep like a baby. I can guzzle a mug 30 minutes before bed and it’s relaxing, will still conk right out.
Also, can easily drink 30+ ounces a day and not get jitters or even nudge my heart rate, my HR is usually in the mid-60s to low 70s throughout the day unless I’m being physically active or doing dedicated exercise.
