A far more accurate title would be “Nine writers on their drug addictions and experiences,” because very little of this article has anything to do with ADHD or the legitimate therapeutic uses of Adderall.
Also telling that none of the writers reflected on how their behavior contributes to the absurd hoops people like me have to jump through to actually access the drug (when we can get it at all, anyways).
If you’ve got ADHD, don’t bother reading it. It’s just infuriating.
- spondylosaurus 3y agoNo kidding, part six literally opens with: > I do not believe ADHD is an inherent thing. They just put those cards right on the table, lol. No hesitation! What I think a lot of people don't realize is that ADHD is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder alongside stuff like autism. Which means attention and executive function are only a piece of the larger puzzle; ADHD's biggest impacts on me as a kid were (1) difficulty regulating emotions and (2) general social stunted-ness. I still struggle with the former, I thankfully caught up on the latter (mostly :P), and "attention" issues have remained an undercurrent throughout. Various medications, and not just stimulants(!) have helped on all fronts.
