I recently got diagnosed with ADHD a couple of months ago. That makes me curious; since there’s a higher percentage of trans people who are autistic, would there be a higher percentage who are ADHD?

What are your experiences with being ADHD and trans?

    Like mentioned elsewhere, folks with menstruation cycles are well known to show exacerbated ADHD symptoms with the fluctuations in hormones.

    Progesterone made my ADHD a lot worse. Second biggest reason I stopped taking it once getting up to where I wanted to be in top growth. (first being that I was constantly ravenously hungry)

    Going back on spironolactone has made it better though. Missing my evening doses of that and estradiol will throw me off a bit the next day.
