Can I just put it out there how wild it is that so many people immediately assume people get ADHD diagnosis’s because they want to recreationally take stimulants rather than like, they have an issue they want treated.

It’s a lot easier, and to an extent cheaper, to purchase black market drugs. Yet people are always sceptical when people say they have an ADHD diagnosis, as if they’re just a meth fiend who wants a socially accepted reason to get high all day.

This line of thinking falls apart pretty quickly once you realise that ADHD isn’t socially accepted, as demonstrated by these kinds of comments you get whenever someone talks about it.
