I had no idea what normal people felt like until I took doctor-prescribed amphetamines for the first time at the age of 35. Most people take speed for a high, but for me I just felt "normal" for the first time ever. I could think clearly. I could remember things. I could react entirely proportionate to the demands of circumstance. It's like something clicked and I was suddenly knew that is why life's a struggle! It was no longer my failing, but something I was born with.
Anyway, point is that thanks to medication we can get a glimpse into what life is like for non-ADHD people, and it is glorious. You don't know how easy you've got it.
