Autism or ADHD obsessions

I made a 76 inch wide shawl in 4 days. I’m on my third one. But I’m getting slower cos I’m taking more breaks…I have a feeling I’ll be giving up soon … but whatever I’m doing I will spend hours on end doing it

I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD and can’t sit still long enough to focus on anything.

It’s good you can.

I don’t know if I have ADHD it was talked about in my autism report that I need an assessment. I can’t focus on reading but if it’s a craft I’m into I’ll spend hours on it

The only way I could focus like that was on ADHD meds I could focus for hours.

Maybe I don’t have it. I will ask for an assessment though just to be sure.

Yeah that definitely sounds like potentially an autism thing. I can sit and focus for days on one thing too and also forget to eat and drink lol

No wonder why I lost weight on and off.

For me, I can be less harder on myself and I know myself better but other than that nothing has changed.

Nothing. I never expected anything from it, however.
