S3 E4 - Autism: the question that changed everything.
from Glitchy Switch: What ADHD feels like to an adult. · host Martin Gale
In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I share the start of a new realisation I didn’t see coming: once methylphenidate eased many of my classic adult ADHD struggles, a different set of sharper-edged traits started showing up more clearly. If you’ve ever wondered why autism traits can become more noticeable after treating ADHD — or why you can feel “better” in one way but more sensitive in another — as usual this is my honest, lived experience. In this episode: How ADHD medication reduced the fog — and revealed other “louder” channels underneath. Why lack of structure and unclear expectations started feeling genuinely anxiety-inducing, especially at work. How noise, office overwhelm, and sensory stress began hitting differently — and what a quiet space changed for me. What “justice sensitivity” felt like when it ramped up, and why it can be so emotionally draining. The moment autism content started landing a little too accurately — and why I decided to pursue an assessment.
