    That second tweet is a bit concerning, though. Let’s not forget that many ADHD meds are addicting to non-ADHD brains.

      ADHD is both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed at the same time for me… I blame misinformation and overall confusion regarding ADHD… When I talked about my symptoms to others, a common answer I would get is “common among people” - if my pratically extreme executive dysfunction and lower leg muscle destroying hyperactivity was actually common among people than the global society wouldn’t last a week

    It’d be easy to diagnose if we were a little more lax with our prescriptions.

    Here, take this Ritalin. Did it make you hyper? Yeah, you’re normal. Did it make you fold laundry the same day you washed it? ADHD.

      I take meds and I will never fold. Best I can do is actually doing the laundry.
