Late-diagnosed AuDHDers, what changed for you when you started ADHD meds?
What symptoms/traits happened more? What happened less? What got easier? What got harder? Did you feel more or less sensory overwhelm? Did your autistic traits become stronger or weaker? Do you stim more or less? How about motivation and energy levels?
I recently started ADHD meds for the first time. My partner has been diagnosed and medicated for ADHD for many years, so some things I'm finding align with his experience - startup cost to do an activity is lower, but I have to be more deliberate in choosing to start a specific activity/task. But, I also seem to hit shutdown/meltdown levels of sensory overwhem more quickly? I just want to hear others' experiences to compare and find the right words to explain what has changed.
