I'm a teenager; but I'm worried about my adulthood future because I don't know (reliably) good methods to adapt to my ADHD (and Autism).

I struggle with working on my projects; even when I take ADHD meds (irregularly now), I still struggle with focus. (The result is unsurprising; ADHD meds are usually assistant tools, not a cure.)

<section><header><h2>My worries.</header></h2><ul> <li><details><summary>I'm in (online) school; but I'm uncertain that I'll even pass it.</summary> <p>I realize that school (grades) have unlikely chances to make actual impacts in my life; I theoretically could just get a job that doesn't require a degree.</p>

<b>I am more worried about how my family is going to react to me failing out of senior year; I am uncertain if I would be able to interdependently live from them.</b> (Independent living is impossible.)

(I (,only <i>now</i> unfortunately,) recognize that the GED exists, but I think it is far too late to take advantage of it now.)</details></li>

All of those survival styles seem like a pain though. (I haven't tried actually them.)

NOTE: I am trying to avoid toxic positivity.

EDIT: <section><h2>My solutional management ideas</h2><ul><li>I think futuristically adopting <a href="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism">stoic</a> beliefs are not a bad idea; it could help dealing with (future) insecurities that come from ADHD.</section>

Impulses are difficult for people with ADHD to regulate: sexual impulses (like horniness), desperate impulses, financial impulses, etc.

How do you deal with them?

For me, trying to respect boundaries tires me out more. idk why.

I struggled to respect boundaries as a child and early teenager. I think I still struggle to respect boundaries; but I am uncertain because I haven't talked to an acquaintance in 7 months.

As a child and early teenager; I constantly hit on my female friends. (I don't know why.)

• I keep looking at people's feet and it tires me. I don't know if I developed a foot fetish; or it's just a habitual behavior that I developed because I hate eye contact.

---

I know that ignoring boundaries can cause health problems long term.

My reasoning for this behavior:

• I do get pressured by my parent to go to the store with them because, to me, they're ~40 and may struggle to transport groceries.

• After 8 years age, I used to be pressured to go to church; but that stopped when I became a teenager.

• I only hungout with a friend at home once. Usually I only have acquaintances. Maybe I have less experience with friendship.

I think I feel pressured to go along with everything.

I have been in love with mouse acceleration ever since I discovered RawAccel; it's nice to be able to flick to quickly flick and have slow aim as a gradient.

• In Team Fortress 2 I can easily adapt to different aim styles; classes have different aim styles, so aim adaptability is useful.

• In Enter The Gungeon I can quickly peak at enemies and change my aim.

Why is mouse accel still hated?!

My mom has a business and mostly uses Windows and Mac OS X; I mentioned Linux because it could help save money.

She is unfamiliar with Linux though; I gave her some basic introduction (uncertain if it's any good, but sure), but I would like to be able to ease her into Linux if she prefers it.
