  • No, it gets worse. Adults don’t have the amount of mental plasticity that younger people have. While it’s possible to make things easier through CBT and learning to cope and deal with certain challenges. The mental load of keeping up with daily life ultimately has its toll. Life is getting harder every year for everyone, and having ADHD makes that mental load just that much harder.



  • I don’t think the scientists abusing meth all have ADHD or they’d have meds prescribed by their doctor.

    Then that’s an even worse analogy than I thought you were saying. I get what you’re trying to say, but it comes across as “well that other guy did something wrong, so I can do it too”.

    And I know that’s not what you’re trying to say, but that’s how it reads.





  • That’s not really a good way to spin it. Having ADHD is nothing like functional alcoholism. An alcoholic is destructively addicted to alcohol, and a functional one is really good at hiding it.

    ADHD is a condition outside of any external influence, and medication helps normalize individuals dealing with it.

    Your approach is the logical equivalent of a burglar saying “I rob people’s homes because they have guns to defend themselves”.


  • you technically sort of are taking meth in a way

    You are 100% NOT taking meth when you take ADHD stims. The only thing linking the two is the core ingredient which is a methyl-5 molecule, which your body makes on its own.

    The drug meth is a synthetic methyl-5 compound with a ton of other nasty crap in it that doesn’t exist in ADHD medication.

    Like I said, whoever says that is in the same group as the American cheese is almost plastic crowd.








  • But nobody who uses it treats it like “just a tool.”

    I do. I use it to tighten up some lazy code that I wrote, or to help me figure out a potential flaw in my logic, or to suggest a “better” way to do something if I’m not happy with what I originally wrote.

    It’s always small snippets of code and I don’t always accept the answer. In fact, I’d say less than 50% of the time I get a result I can use as-is, but I will say that most of the time it gives me an idea or puts me on the right track.



  • Three incoherent replies with jumbled run-on sentences.

    the businesses with clean perfect sites tend to be the scams

    Uhhh, no. Objectively no. A legit website is not going to have spelling mistakes and broken links. Looking professional and thorough is a direct lead to increased business. What you just said is completely false, and frankly idiotic.

    Everything else you said (in all three replies) is just a jumbled mess of a brain dump that I’m not even going to try and address any of it.
