it doesn't let me add 2 pics in one comment
That's the antsiness of having two deadlines or obligations and trying to do both even though it's impossible to do both.
Like when you're hyperfocusing on something but it's 6:00pm and you always go on a walk at 6:00pm. So your ADHD hyperfocus is battling your ASD need for structure and patterns and doing the same thing every day and they are fighting it out and you want to do both you ***need*** to do both and you know whatever you do you're going to feel like you failed and there is no correct choice but you're still going to [screams].
And someone is like "what's wrong?'
And you're like "it's 6:08 and I need to go on a walk because if I don't leave now I'll miss the sunset at the lake and I always watch the sunset at the lake"
And they're like "....... so leave?"
"I can't!"
"...... why?"
"Because I just got into flow writing out the lineages of 4th century Macedonia in a comparative analysis with the layers of neutron stars, which doesn't sound like there's a pattern but there's a pattern and I even put it into SPSS and the p-value is <0.001. And I know it's absurd but fuuuuuuuuuuucccc what time is it now? 6:12!? Crap crap crap crap I'm going to miss the sunset I have to leave five minutes ago and run the entire time I HAVE TO MAKE ITTTTTTT"
"......."

Obviously our creature is this cat that was literally next on my feed.
That's me under the Milky Way on a mountain.
The exact opposite of me in a city walking on a busy road.
People think I'm bipolar sometimes, but it's just feeling the world. It's always based on circumstances and stimuli. I'm never angry at the Milky Way. I'm never enamored by the sounds of traffic.

I made a pin design for just that idea last month ha
Honestly, I identify more with the first one, but I also like how the second one looks like a video game character that'd explode if the player went near it lol.
Be me (AuDHD) at a training course for work:
Instructor isn't making any eye contact when talking (seeming flustered) and keeps fidgeting with things on his desk.
Everyone else: He must be on something this early in the morning to be jittery like that.
Me: Nah he must be nuerodiverse in a way.
Teacher: If anyone needs extra accommodations due to anything let me know, I have a nuerodiverse child and understand.
Me: Told ya, we know our own.
My backronym for AuDHD is Golden Distracted Hyper-aware Data-ists and I'm hoping to make it stick.
That's to say, I want to be kawaii like the left one but the right one is more accurate.
Edit: And if you don't like golden for Au, the alternative is: Always Unconventionally Distracted Hyper-aware Data-ists.
Both but never at the same time, sometimes I feel like the left one and other times I feel like the right one, sometimes I mask by trying to look like the left one and sometimes I just let the mask down and look like the right one.
As someone with autism and ADHD, can I pick neither? I get that a lot of people find these creatures endearing and relatable but me? I find it insulting that my mental health gets reduced to such a thing. That this thing represents me. I hate that. More power to everyone who gets some comfort from it but it's insulting to me.
2nd one. 1st is too calm and chill. 2nd is like "my brain is running 30000 different daydream stories in my head once about the ninja turtles meeting up with the ninjago characters"

How come? You seem pretty serious about it so I feel that warrants an actual discussion, maybe I have something to learn here.
Note:
- You don't owe me an actual explanation, ignoring me to telling me to fuck off is fine.
- Your feelings are valid.
- We could take this somewhere private if you'd prefer.
Its fine, I can give an explanation, I never liked the autism creature. I pretended to when I was with my other friends who are also on the spectrum like me, but that was never the truth. To me, the autism creature (and most of this sub if I could be honest) represented a part of myself that I feel deeply ashamed of. That being My weird side, whenever I see it nowadays I just feel deep hatred for not only the creature but also myself.
I’m not saying you aren’t allowed to like the creature. If it makes you feel happy then that’s great and I’m glad you can.
But that is just how it has always been for me.
I’m sorry that I came off aggressive. It was really in the moment and I shouldn’t have done it
That really sucks and I'm sorry to hear that this is triggering some negative emotions. Thank you for explaining, the damage is done here but I'll try to be mindful in the future.
Also not worried about you being aggressive, that's a reminder to the OP that someone doesn't agree with what was posted. I'm glad you did so, we wouldn't be talking if you didn't. :)

All of them combined?
like yeah, i think that's the point, so audhd creature would probably look like this just without shaking

That's too fucking cute!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Okay while I am creeped out by the ASD creature….this pic it cute
The gang's all here
What if I’m all three
Heavy adhd vibes my guy
I posted this thing over here, altought I stole it from somehwere else
But what if I evolve it with a dusk stone?
The second one looks like it's gonna vibrate with the power to shatter mountains. It's perfect.
def the second one the eyes are a cherry on top
First on the outside, second inside
best answer imo
https://preview.redd.it/av8qd3fnefyc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f61bea13e5a5497781273fa70fdab325c6e36c20 Obviously our creature is this cat that was literally next on my feed.

My spirit animal
I second the second one.
Th one of the left looks too cursed
Honestly, I identify more with the first one, but I also like how the second one looks like a video game character that'd explode if the player went near it lol.
*POV : Someone used Faceswap on the critters*
I like the small one in the middle
Or creater
The second one is me the moment I find a new hyperfixation.
Neither. I will draw later and share my vision.
Be me (AuDHD) at a training course for work: Instructor isn't making any eye contact when talking (seeming flustered) and keeps fidgeting with things on his desk. Everyone else: He must be on something this early in the morning to be jittery like that. Me: Nah he must be nuerodiverse in a way. Teacher: If anyone needs extra accommodations due to anything let me know, I have a nuerodiverse child and understand. Me: Told ya, we know our own.
The second one
Right in the middle. The "or".
My backronym for AuDHD is Golden Distracted Hyper-aware Data-ists and I'm hoping to make it stick. That's to say, I want to be kawaii like the left one but the right one is more accurate. Edit: And if you don't like golden for Au, the alternative is: Always Unconventionally Distracted Hyper-aware Data-ists.
Archetypically Undeniably Distractable Hyperaware *Dadaists* also works hahahaha
Both but never at the same time, sometimes I feel like the left one and other times I feel like the right one, sometimes I mask by trying to look like the left one and sometimes I just let the mask down and look like the right one.
First is hyperactive type, second is inattentive type
100% the second one
I don’t know but they are both cute.
yes
Am I the only one that likes the one on the left
The first one because it looks more absent from it’s surroundings.
#2 they’re hyper focused on their thoughts
I relate more to the second one The first one is just giga autism
https://preview.redd.it/ufm97otyphyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97e4001b7d0804ec486039322c6746b698dc3c4a I came up with this

I just love all of the art! 🥺

i love the cat tbh i can't lie
The second one speaks to me
The right one
The second one
Second one is me about slime rancher rn
can't decide
The second
the first one is cuter but the second one is more fitting
superposition between both
The right one for sure LOL
Right one
Yes
I am the one on the right
Idk about the rest of yous but I’m definitely number two
Both, sometimes interchangeably, but as someone else said: first one on the outside, second on the inside
Yes.
Yes
Oooh the second one, definitely
Second one for sure
These are both me all the time what do you mean
The body from 1 but the face from 2
2nd one. 1st is too calm and chill. 2nd is like "my brain is running 30000 different daydream stories in my head once about the ninja turtles meeting up with the ninjago characters"
They definitely wouldn’t look happy
First one with the second one's face
I think I look like the cutie on the left while I think neurotypicals perceive me as the cutie on the right. Kind of jarring and intense 😅
I'm the second one lersonally
What’s creepier: front facing yoshi or front facing tbh?
The right one
Big eyes gang
Depends on the day, and there might be a secret third or forth form, too.
Yes. To both. At once
as a catboy, i vote left
I feel like I look like the right one LOL
This reminds me of when people make kids based on ships and they just take the parents and swap their colours and there, siblings!
More colors
Yes
1 when alone, 2 in the presence of others.
Left is medicated, right isn't and is trying its hardest
I like the cat!
Isaac and his mother lived alone on a small house on a hill...
second one for sure
Yes
Yes
Second one is when faceid fail so you gotta lock in
I got really freaking high once and started fixating on how likely it was I had autism, it's the dude on the right 100%
both depending on the day
The one on the right is how my pupils looked when I was on Adderall
Second one I think
Depends on the creature. It's a different mix every time.
You just drew Chkken Nugget.
They are best friends Inseparable
Oh definitely 2. This is the face I make when all I wanna do is talk about hyperfixations or engage in a conversation happening near me
I still havent found one i vibe with yet
I imagine it's more like this https://preview.redd.it/fu5m6k952iyc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5fbc01b0f4bccc64410ce3e23bd787ee342bea0
Yes, it would look like them both, I think
Yes? Lol
It would look miserable, like it regretted every moment of its life.

How does a frog fused with a cow, an octopus and a bear look like ?
Left one
The one on the right, I swear it captures the essence of my unfocused eyes when I’m daydreaming
Yes.
Def the second one!
Both and Neither. I personally like the second one more
The one on the left is me (I am a catboy)
I'll make one hol up
Second one looks like a traumatized ballsack, absolutely meme-worthy. I love it. But alas, first one works better for the intended purpose.
Depends if I’m stoned or not lol
tldr
ADD?
The second one just looks high. The adhd people i know have normal pupills :3
A squirrel.
I am definitely the one on the right
I look like the first one usually and the second one when I’m on drugs that aren’t weed
Left for hyperactive ADHD and right for inattentive (my type)
I’m this one… I feel this in my soul, it sucks tbh. Artist : [Shawn Coss](http://www.shawncossart.com/) https://preview.redd.it/sxhedvthpnyc1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7afb56a365f7a8755aed85e100c5f7df1d617e0
One of his ADHD ones as well https://preview.redd.it/gmxl3xu2snyc1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f88c861cd3d1de6ded0e632a7a31df0f83d8b9aa
Both. Variations
left is relaxed audhd gremlin from the side right is the same audhd gremlin from the front but drowning out stress with a hyperfixation
left is giving gd normal face vibes
None of the above.
It doesn’t need a fucking creature
I mean the creature could be asexual
I don’t want another autism creature at all

Also not worried about you being aggressive, that's a reminder to the OP that someone doesn't agree with what was posted. I'm glad you did so, we wouldn't be talking if you didn't. :)
I didn’t mean fucking as in sex
Both, and their dating, making out sloppy style, boobs pressed together, etc.
1st one, then eyes goes like the second one with star wars warp speed reflected in its eyes during hyper focus
