adhdmo here, that's not inaccurate for a lot of people but some of us just have really fucked up/inefficient prefrontal cortices and the dopamine just doesn't flow regularly

for you it's the prefrontal cortex, for me it's the cerebellum, for some unlucky people it's both. people overlook the role of the cerebellum in ADHD and autism and other issues.

yes but there’s a medication for it that makes your excel at life, so it’s a legitimate diagnosis

it's not the same

low baseline dopamine bros get a massive, massive boost from stims compared to ppl with normal/high baseline dopamine levels

i got an adderall script because i used to like doing it recreationally by taking a pill from my friends to stay out late. it really did almost nothing for my productivity because i dont have adhd. (it also sucks as a recreational thing if you dont take long gaps between doing it)

ljl at this bullshit, if you take it while going out of course you won't be productive, take it at home when you have shit to do and you'll get hyperfocused on some random thing and do it like crazy, it isn't like all methheads are secretly adhd

You have to be careful, though. 20mg might get you to do the dishes, but 60mg will cause you to develop an xo scraper.

no i mean i did take it at home/work once i got the script and it did very little for me. honestly though my job is pretty easy if i was still in biglaw it probably would have helped with the drudgery.

yes. ADHD = being bad at life. I.e. unreliable, unmotivated, disorganized etc.

These qualities are required to succeed in life regardless of your intelligence level.
