I recommend finding another doctor and getting an ASD evaluation. There is a 60% comorbidity overlap between ASD and ADHD. You can treat ADHD with medication but those same medications are substantially less effective on someone with ASD even with identical symptoms.
As for concentration try to improve your serotonin output. This will have no direct impact on concentration but it has a tremendous indirect impact by improving everything else. The key to improve serotonin is to reduce your intake of caffeine, empty carbs, and alcohol. All of those are microbiome destroyers. Refocus your diet around meat and vegetables and fermented foods like kimchi, kefir, sauerkraut, and such. It takes about 3 weeks for the healthy diet to take effect. 90% of serotonin produced in the body is in the gut, but it’s most impactful to brain activity and gut hormones do not quickly become neurotransmitters in the brain.
- nerdyadventurer 11mo agoI take Fluoxetine (SSRI), have taken it for years actually for OCD even though OCD does not bother me that much. No coffee, but lot of binge eating due to craving but I feel bad afterwards. I have taken probiotics but did not see improvement, in order to try diet approaches I have to stop medication, since I have heard continuosly taking meds destroy balance of microbiome.
