Autistic burnout
This is the intense physical, mental or emotional exhaustion, often accompanied by a loss of skills that some adults with autism experience.
It results mainly from the incremental effect of having to navigate a world that is designed for neurotypical people.

Sensitivity to Justice
People with ADHD have a very strong moral compass:
They hate discrimination, dishonesty, fake people and unfair situations.
They love justice, fairness, honesty, sincerity, equality and the truth.
They won't just talk but actively take action about it.

Friendship degradation mechanics
ADHD/Autistic people can go YEARS without hearing from someone at all and still feel exactly the same level of familiarity with them.
But they don't because friendship degrades if you don't take care of it.

Constant Fatigue
Fatigue is a major symptom, more than forgetfulness, or distractableness, or impulsiveness.
Inattentive ADHDers are more likely to experience it and ADHDers with menstrual cycles often get it worse during certain parts of their cycle.

Rejection sensitive dysphoria
People who struggle with rejection-sensitive dysphoria can perceive criticism or dislike where there is none.

Interoception Issues
The inability to tell when you are hungry, thirsty, hot, cold, or need to go to the bathroom.
Kids who struggle with the interoceptive sense also have trouble feeling their emotions.
They may not be as aware of the body cues that help interpret emotion.
