I talked to someone at Nature about how I manage my ADHD and autism.
This article is great. Some excellent tips in here from others, too.

Researchers with ADHD discuss its peaks and valleys and how they structure their work lives to succeed.Nowogrodzki, Julian
"high autistic-like trait burden"
"'rescued' low-social monkeys’ ability to respond prosocially"
"at risk of developing social deficits related to autism"
This is language from an actual paper on rhesus monkeys being used to model autism.
Burden. Rescue. Risk. Deficit.
How do these people not recognize that their language is chock full of value judgments? Value judgments don't belong in science, where conclusions are supposed to be based on objective fact.
They've already made up their minds about us. Put another way, they've already made judgments ahead of time. That is, they've already pre-judged us. Or, the most blatantly recognizable way to put it: They are prejudiced.

Nice to see official publications taking note that the vast majority of us reject the terms "person with autism", "high-functioning", and "low-functioning". Those are harmful, and from our perspective, inaccurate.

Some of us Internet Weirdos are doing a survey on Neurodivergence and Education.
If you are in school, college, university or whatnot, or have been in the last five years, could you spend a few minutes filling in this out for us?
We're writing guides for educators and learners and the more input we have, the better we'll be.
Appreciated folx!

For years, we used to explain to folks that we experienced a phonological delay in processing speech or sounds, and that it was likely linked to us being autistic.
We only later worked out that we're actually AuDHD (inattentive ADHD and autistic) and that there's an actual medical term for this: auditory processing disorder.
If you're some flavour of neurospicy, you might have it too without realising. Common signs and symptoms include:
- speaking louder or softer than is situationally appropriate;
- difficulty remembering lists or sequences;
- needing words or sentences to be repeated;
- impaired ability to memorize information learned by listening;
- interpreting words too literally;
- needing assistance to hear clearly in noisy environments;
- relying on accommodation and modification strategies;
- finding or requesting a quiet work space away from others;
- requesting written material when attending oral presentations; and
- asking for directions to be given one step at a time.
It heavily overlaps with ADHD and autism 
Hope this is helpful to someone
