Hi, I have ADHD and “sorting myself out” was getting a prescription for drugs, without which I cannot be a functional human being. A lot of people I’ve met with un-diagnosed/recognised ADHD use caffeine as a crutch. It is usually the only widely available, legal, and relatively non-harmful stimulant they have access too. Thanks for reinforcing a harmful stereotype that prevents people like me from accessing life-saving medication.
