A comment on Ask HN: How to deal with ADHD on your own? (If you have to). Parent comment
Getting through most of my 20s without meds gave me more confidence in my own abilities.
If I had them earlier? Maybe my life would have been easier but maybe not.
Even today there are times when a bit of ADHD helps me make better decisions by just letting my mind wonder.
I think that using stimulants to control the ADHD like an on/off switch is the best of both worlds.
