  • Exactly - I don’t know what you have- YOU’RE the one who said you don’t think you have “true” ADHD and used the air quotes… again, in a community specifically for ADHD. That is invalidating to everyone with ADHD who reads it in a society that doubts the existence of our disability altogether.

    I’m telling YOU that YOUR posts give off BIG “hey you don’t have ADHD, you just aren’t fixing yourself right” energy. That’s not me gatekeeping - that me advocating against ableism. That attitude kills people. This is me educating you. And if you can’t understand that or at least respect the impact your attitudes & theories might have on a vulnerable community, I guess I’d have to ask - why are you HERE? Because it’s not to help, if that’s the case.


  • You keep saying shit like “uninformed speculation” and you don’t think you have “TRUE” ADHD but still spouting your theories about “fixing” shit that can’t be fixed guy…. In a forum FOR people WITH ADHD. ADHD is a disability. I have been diagnosed “officially” but I’ve seen the effects being undiagnosed on people has and don’t begrudge anyone a self diagnosis if they’ve self educated. It doesn’t seem you have. You’re invalidating and mocking people with a recognized disability. Stop.





  • My primary care doctor does drug test for ADHD prescriptions. She’s mentioned it’s something the DEA wants to see if she prescribes controlled substances. I was only getting Vyvanse (which is supposed to be un-abusable?).

    ETA: while marijuana was never specifically mentioned (I did not partake), my doctor did use those drug tests to chide me about nicotine use as I was vaping at the time… so it seems it’s not just about testing to ensure you’re taking your stimulants and not selling them…
