Brainstorm request: Hobbies for depressed autistic/adhd person - eviltoast

I feel a little bad for asking for help again…

So I need to do something. I have no idea what though. So these are things to consider for me:

  • I prefer something regular and scheduled. My Autism needs consistency, but my ADHD makes it really hard to establish and maintain.
  • I need to get out of my home. I am withering here
  • some (predictable) social interaction is okay. If it is too much I probably won’t be able to keep up. I’d prefer something with a low upfront social cost (honestly the idea of being introduced to a new group feels overwhelming)
  • I prefer a somewhat sensory friendly environment (for example the music in a gym would be really really stressful)

I would like to know what kinds of things you found in your lives that worked. Thanks!

    • Gardening: it requires little things but regular attention, and you get food and pretty flowers out of it. If you can’t do it at home you can try guerilla gardening somewhere in your neighborhood.
    • Astronomy/radio astronomy: nothing more regular and scheduled than the stars.
    • Cycling (if you live somewhere where it’s safe to cycle)
    • Swimming/Trekking
    • Do you know the youtube channel Save it for parts? Maybe it can give you some inspiration, he also has ADHD and he’s always jumping between different projects.
