Hiii the answer is I don’t lol I have no friends but I get by lol
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ girl yesss!!! I’m so freaking awkward in person 😬😂. Top it all off, love my baby, but he’s so clingy haha. I get super stimulated and don’t want be touched so that’s been awesome to navigate! Be strong mamas. We got this!! 🤪🤪
I have ADHD and currently 30 weeks pregnant 😬 I work as a nanny so I'm used to being around children but I only work 4 days a week and finish at 5pm so at least I have my own time to have some peace... I worry about how I'm going to cope looking after my own 24/7 😩 I get burnt out very easily!
Adhd here. Pregnant with my third now, it's a rollercoaster for sure. Still haven't figured out the making friends bit, but my husband's friends from highschool have been kind enough to adopt me into their group, and thankfully I get along very well with them all.
ADHD mumma here. It's definitely hard some days. The thing i have always found the hardest is the over stimulation. constant noise and touching. Doesn't help sometimes that I work with kids, too, so i hold it together at work, and by the time I get home, I am completely done and want to hide. Also, making friends I find tough, i am not great at small talk, and often forget to message for ages or feel like I am exposing on people. xx
@Zena I can totally relate! This is totally me even though I don't work in child care. My 9yo boy is also AuDHD like me with PDA profile thrown in there. Alot of days things are exceptionally hard
@Lauren, my 9 Yr old son has just been assessed for ADHD. I am in no doubt he will get his diagnosis, and my daughter is being assessed next month. So can be a very hightened home life sometimes.
Yes totally chaotic!!
Yes, it’s a struggle finding the time to socialize, as well as anyone with shared interests!
I haven't been diagnosed with anything.. but I'm slightly awkward socially and find it hard to make friends. Sometimes, I.do feel I wonder if I do have something.
Hi Yes! I am a first time mom with ADHD, autism , my son is a 1& 2 month 2 small dogs
ADHD and introverted as well and awkward lol still trying to make friends as well. I could use a hug. Also sending you a virtual hug 🤗
I strongly suspect I am. It's tough!! Sending hugs to all 🩷
I have 1 consistent local friend. And idk how we even happened. I'm audhd. A hug would be great but I'd either cry and feel awkward or just feel awkward cuz I don't know you 😭

I have ADHD and I'm currently 30 weeks intp my last high risk pregnancy and definitely could use a hug. But I started back on my antidepressants recently so I'm going to start doing better here soon. Like maybe 3 weeks before baby is here which is pretty good timing. I'm not super introverted but my car broke down so I only go to the Dr and work and shopping for food. So I guess I feel super isolated at the moment
I’m the spectrum version that explodes on people with awkward chatter. I also tend to say the wrong thing, not knowing I’ve done so, so friendships are hard.
Right there with you @Charlie I always step on people's toes
@Lauren half the time I don’t even know what it was I said. I apparently suck at social cues, but NO ONE ever told me until my husband did. He just takes the time to ask me what I meant.
@Charlie same. Some things I had no idea about until my husband told me either!
@Lauren why wouldn’t anyone else say something before though? It would be SO helpful.
Yes! I have ADHD. My daughter was diagnosed with autism 2 years ago and I'm waiting for an autism assessment myself. God it's tough 😭 single mom life too
Lol, I'm extremely introverted and got diagnosed with ADD about 5 yrs ago. I struggle with making friends, hints why I got this app. Two of my children have adhd and my youngest is on the waiting list to be checked for autustim. I'm currently ready to give birth to my 5th child, 3rd boy. I'm down to chat through here on the app, in between crazy schedules. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who struggles with these things bc it can seem lonely at times.
Same here!!! I have 3 kids and 2 have been diagnosed with ADHD as well. Making friends is definitely a struggle.
@Nikki my daughter is autistic, and has ADHD. I’m autistic and have ADHD. Getting the diagnosis for both of us was so freaking helpful for our relationship!!! Definitely such an eye opener to my entire life. Makes sense why I’m making friends has always been so hard!
ADHD over here and first time being pregnant at 24 weeks! I can honestly say this is the worst my ADHD has ever been 😅 Constantly overwhelmed and overstimulated, sending a virtual hug!! Xx
