    Ok but let’s not further the anti adhd meds bandwagon. I’d be a high-school dropout instead of a college graduate without them

      I’ve been without my ADHD meds for a couple days since II ran out and since I was changing the dosage I decided not to get a refill until then, and my God i am so annoying without them.

      anybody who claims to not want to put people on ADHD medicine should have to sit next to me explaining F1 drivers and shit at a restaurant where I’m not getting the social cues to shut up

      update: saw a lady at work with a CSX shirt and I said “I love trains 🥰” my autistic masking flew out the fucking window.

        We could put on a track of me repeating words so I don’t forget the thing I’m trying to do, get, or find. You can only hear the word keys repeated until shit shoes, shoes, shoes… so many times before going insane

      Yeah, that rubs me the wrong way. I’ve never been diagnosed with anything because that costs money, but if you told me there was a pill I could take that would make my brain work something close to normal, I’d trade almost anything for it

      Like yeah there’s obviously nothing wrong with having ADHD or depression or autism, and also your quality of life is significantly worse if you can’t bring yourself to make phone calls or wake up before noon or remember to brush your teeth every day
