Do most long term NEETs just have ADHD and lack of pussy?

The common theme is the 'tism. However if you look at the diagnostic criteria you actually need to have both social deficits and an intense special weird interest like train time tables as well as extreme sensory disorders like not liking loud noises or certain textures.

Idgaf about anything really, nothing specific I only like MOBAs for rotting and wasting time, but no interest in anything specific, nor do I have any sensory disorders although I am a really picky eater (typical nugget eater man-child phenotype).

What do you guys think? Are most man-child tier NEETs just undiagnosed and unmedicated ADHD who have been misunderstood and enabled all their lives by parents and/or government?

Personally on my social healthcare form they have denied my autism assessment based on a written questionnaire, stating that I do not have enough symptoms of autism for them to bother assessing me, however I do fulfil and exceed the ADD/ADHD criteria and will be assessed probably in a year or two for that. Thoughts? ggs

Makes sense, ADHD people tend to have low dopamine, so someone unmedicated probably wouldn't have enough motivation to hold up a job

Not just NEETs but most autists you hear on the internet are usually just ADHD. A special interest can also be a result of hyperfocus which is an ADD symptom. Though imo it's neither, it's just severe depression. Depression can make you develop the same symptoms as ADHD but a bit lower intensity

actual diagnosed autist here, i think there’s both autistic and adhd neets but most neets have some variety of mental disorder that impairs day to day functioning in normal society, whether it autism, adhd or severe depression etc

I can't stand loud noises and machinery indeed, the sounds of the outside world bother me

Well with adhd the brain gets a lack of dopamine to simplify it making it harder to do things non adhd people can do

With neets who most suffer with extremely bad depression don’t get dopamine from allot of things which could look very similar

If you didnt get diagnosed with autism as a child, its very unlikely you have it. Most here are just ugly and/or have adhd.

I guess lack of long term committment is another thing. But self loathing exacerbates that, how are you going to stick to something for years if in the short term ur constantly stressing over how shit u currently are. And also immediately quitting

I think so. With Mild Autism/Aspergers you might get away with being "awkward" and function well enough. ADHD though will sap the life out of you and ruin everything without being obvious at all, it just comes off as lazyness. One day you just realise "Shit! What have I been doing with my life?" and you won't even know what you did with your time or really have the energy to course correct.

I was diagnsed with both. The Autism I learned to cope with well, we're supposed to be good at emotionally dettaching and systematising concepts, and I did that with social interactibility. I don't like social events much but I can fake it pretty well. I am sensitive to loud noises and some microfibre fabrics make my skin crawl.

ADHD and GAD(I'm suspected of having it, not 100% confirmed) severely damage my quality of life when something triggers the latter, which then exarcebates the former. I've been mostly successfull at controlling them wihtout meds, though, by changing my lifestyle. Many ruined opportunities and relarionships until I got here though.

All of that crap is made up anyway. I just like video games. When I had a girlfriend, I barely played video games because I spent time with her. After that was done I went back to playing video games.

Imagine taking some medication that fucks you up when nothing is wrong with you just because some retarded doctor wants to make money and tells you it will solve your problems (becoming more useful in the eye‘s of capitalists).

The meds work for people with normal brains. Turns me into a manic flid that cannot sleep on anything past 100mg.
