ADHD Music / Playlist Advice

toffeeapples

Hi! I have had a very recent diagnosis of ADHD, but I also have Autism and have had it since I was around 7 years old, so for the last 20 years or so! I’ve always been a creative person who likes to draw and listen to music. However, I am finding some music on Spotify difficult, as they have lyrics and I end up disliking songs that I once loved due to how it distorts my focus and concentration. I have signed up for a free trial for a website called brain.fm, but it’s quite costly every month. I just wondered: does anyone have any recommendations for playlists on Spotify that can help with my concentration but also help me relax?

Many thanks

Hi @toffeeapples, how are you feeling about your diagnosis?

I found these playlists on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5cuyK75jaZyp0k0s9WHBrE https://open.spotify.com/artist/3pZWCUXB3D30ZyI6ubhDgC . How about classical music? It doesn't have lyrics and is relaxing. Or there's lo-fi beats which are good as background music?
