I also have adhd and while I get where you are coming from and your experience may be different from mine but if I'm not on my meds I can't even keep up with my hobbies or have fun doing them. I love macro photography and I'm pretty good at it but if I'm not on my meds I just can't do it.
Yeah no dig at that, obviously these things should be available and destigmatized and while it's great these meds work for you- I was put on high-dose concerta against my consent as a teenager and suffered terrible side effects so I just wanted to explain my bias and offer these additional thoughts on this; it's not for everyone and it especially shouldn't be so quickly pushed as a solution when schoolchildren are disengaged or underperfoming. Moreover, consent is fucking important. I stayed up until 5am almost every night of 10th grade that shit was not normal or healthy.
On 100% your experience and feelings on it are valid and real. I personally think if kids are underpreforming in school then they should just make school better and more engaging.
Yeah. This was my realization about a year ago. Which prompted me to finally get tested. Apparently I am a pretty severe case too. I think she was very curious about a lot of aspects of my life and how they functioned. The answer was not good. Haven’t even attempted to date in 7 years a cause I can’t even function
