Yeah ironically I screw up my life when I am NOT on (legally prescribed) drugs.
I wasn't diagnosed until I was 27, and it's how I ended up becoming a Project manager because Project management frame work is the only effective way I found to offset and manage my dysfunction, and not end up unemployed and homeless because I could barely function in any modern workplace, as an IT person.
Modern Open plan offices, are ADHD hell and we get ZERO accommodations and have to work around it as best I can. Noise cancell
Now-banned "Speedy Gonzalez" was a stereotype of a Maxican mouse high on cocaine. He could also be likened to someone with ADHD, so be careful of your audience there. Adderall is the cocaine of the 21st century.
Adderall tends to level out people with ADHD (which is extremely counter-intuitive). So while you're on point with with Speedy, Adderall doesn't act like a stimulant at therapeutic doses with the relevant types of ADHD (or just ADD). Frankly, I think the bar is set too low for calling someone a sufferer of the disorder, but that's a personal opinion
ADD and ADHD affect executive function - We can't just choose to pay attention to things as well as most people, to a point where it negatively affects normal li
When I was a kid, some friends of mine and I were playing with firecrackers. A small one blew up in my hand (no serious injuries yay) because I forgot I was holding it. During the 2 seconds after I lit the fuse. I got distracted.
I assure you, ADHD is not a result of stifling constraint, boredom, etcetera. It's an actual thing.

I don't think that's correct.
