I think people just want to be their best selves. They want to accomplish their goals and they use tools to accomplish those goals. I mean everyone carries a cell phone and I feel like those modify your life and thinking patterns a lot more than taking adderall does.
- reitanqild 9y agoBoth stimulants and cell phones can be extremely useful for ADHD users. Cell phones: Possibility to carry a calendar - with alarm. Stimulants: Lowers the threshold for "interesting" so you don't fall asleep/have to do "something"/etc. (Yep, multiple alternatives exist here.)
