Clearly you are trying not to make a big deal about it, and I respect that, but maybe make a pinned post on BoostForLemmy? Make sure you're not actively trying to fleece people?

SIGH, BAPANADA.
100% this. 27M, I don't have autism, but I tested for mixed-ADHD at the end of last year. It was not at all aurprising, but having this diagnosis has opened me to a world of information I never would've explored before. I'm now on 30mg of Vyvanse daily. I have better infrastructure built for my life to support my forgetfulness, which has plagued me since grade school.
It's all still a work-in-progress, but knowing these things can make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. It may feel like "an easy out" or "an excuse", but that is a mental hurdle you can overcome, and you will be much happier when you do.
That was me too! I guessed I had around 2k hours in RL overall, but Destiny 2 has recently just eclipsed 2k hours on just PC. Probably have 2500 in that game total now.
I came to the comments to make this joke lmao. I never played super consistently, so it always threw me for a bit of a loop.
Actually, to Meta's credit here, they do transparently say this when you make an account.
You can send follow requests to all of your Insta friends, and once they activate a Threads profile, they will see any follow requests they may have gotten.
I ended up needing to take the latter of the 2 options, and I wouldn't wish that torture on my worst enemies.
Straight out of HS I went to Uni, and it always felt like I wasn't doing it for myself. 2.5 years and $20k later I left hastily, and went to college after a few months off. I didn't get it right in the first year, but I went into game dev after that and barely squeaked by. Even with it being a very strong interest of mine, it was very difficult to drag myself through it. I met some incredible friends along the way that helped keep me focused enough, but it was hard.
Fast forward 3 years, and here I am now, diagnosed with mixed ADHD, medicated, with more focus than I've ever had. Its still not great... I have 27 years of bad habits to break, but it's getting better.
One of the biggest things I can offer as advice is know your enemy. ADHD is tricky to deal with, but not impossible. If you have the option to make itbeasier to manage, I'd try to find a way and make it happen. I can't speak to the autism part, but the ADHD is something that you can manage. It just takes some time.
