Okay, you handled some of your ADHD symptoms with stimulants, routines, and sleep. How did you fix your social/interpersonal skills? Don't you have trouble interpreting social cues correctly?

What about organization? How did you fix that? Or will medication fix all of the above automatically?

My take on this as someone who's been on atomoxetine for a year is that, no, this won't automagically fix your problems.

But it gives you a chance.

Me on atomoxetine means I can actually: a) slow down, b) get an intuitive feel of passing time, c) tune out anxiety-inducing thoughts, which in combination are enough to get me through most days. Think of it as learning how to work again for the first time. Most people have had decades of practice on this and you're essentially starting from scratch. What would you do differently?
