Totally off topic, but I am 100% self diagnosed ADHD and I base this on my use of illegal drugs that helped me get through college for a very brief stint (I’m not talking about illegally procured Adderall). I think I’m on the mid-range of it (I have friends that are on the super side) and I’ve learned through my life how to get by. I do wonder how much more I could’ve done in life without this constant dog-\>squirrel brain.
