All of those outcomes are totally understandable and imaginable. I don’t want to rail against medications. People find them to be of benefit and it is tough to say how their life would turn out if they didn’t have that.

But I also resist these ideas that I should be on medication. I know it dulls responses because I have seen people change. They become less exciting. And more robotic. And their adhd lasts longer unevolving. Think of it like the hulk who never had a chance to grow until he was on a different planet and remained hulk entirely.
