Hey autism/adhd folks I’m in a bit of a pickle, but could y’all comment things your friends/siblings/etc do for you to help with regulation or things you say to help them not get frustrated with you?

my boyfriend (we’re long distance) will turn his camera on while we’re on call and just remind me he is here and he loves me and holds space for me. He’ll also sing songs I like even though he can’t sing. He’s been super patient ever since I started unmasking

People in my life are usually patient with me when I repeat the same things. I’m pretty redundant when I talk- I always check for my wallet/phone/keys multiple times before I go anywhere and narrate my plans for the day out loud. My family and friends usually just stay quiet or agree with me and don’t make me feel stupid for repeating myself
