Software engineering gave me the opportunity to go from being in the bottom economic class to the highest. And guess what, when I was a kid and college student I didn’t have the resources to obtain mental health treatment. Now that I’m a software engineer I can afford therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists that help me manage ADHD and bipolar. I’m still the same person. I just have more access now.
- whimsicalism 6y agoSure - also the metrics measured in industry are not the same as the metrics measured in school. What you're saying doesn't seem at odds with what I'm saying. I would, however, be interested in seeing a study where they give kids with ADHD adderall and give kids without ADHD adderall and see if the test-score residual is statistically significantly higher for the ADHD group. I have not seen any convincing experimental evidence that amphetamines are uniquely performance enhancing for those diagnosed with ADHD.
