An autistic woman is questioning whether she is AuDHD or just enjoys a toke, it has been rumoured.
Paige Thomas, 37, who is diagnosed as autistic, frequently misplaces things, forgets what she was saying mid-sentence and has trouble controlling her impulses – but usually experiences said symptoms while stoned out of her mind.
Thomas said: “I have real trouble concentrating on things for more than a couple of seconds. Seconds. Se-conds. Is it just me or does that word sound wrong? It is seconds, right? The more I say it, the weirder it sounds.”
“Speaking of weird, have you seen my toes? They’re like fingers for my legs but they don’t do anything. What are they even for? Teaching kids to count to 20?”
Thomas then cut our interview short to order a pizza, and also some other random shiny stuff that she won’t remember having ordered when it arrives tomorrow.
Thomas could not be reached for further comment as she’d completely forgotten this article was a thing.
