Goblin.tools: simple, single-task tools to help neurodivergent people with tasks

I figured you either were or would claim to be adhd.

I see lots of harmful "advice" pushed by supposed ADHD sufferers.

One time I saw an older ADHD sufferer trying to mentor a young person with ADHD by telling him to cut out preservatives and take up meditation.

Leafy Greens and Pay Attention are barely a step beyond vagina crystals and positive thinking, and its awesome that you think they worked for you, but people should be referred for proper medical treatment, always. Even if you add your other wins as supplementary options, it should never be seen to be something alternative to medicine.

Have you ever considered that you may just be an asshole?

I had a psychiatrist for my Adderall prescription, but he was really just a drug dealer who was forced to retire after one of his patients committed suicide. But that was long after I had quit Adderall and learned how to deal with my shit on my own.

Anyway, I wish you well, and please find a medical professional that can evaluate your real problem.

There it is, you are pushing this stuff because you have an anti medication bent. Thanks for owning up.

No man, I wish I had done these things when I was on Adderall. They're good for anyone, whether they're medicated or not.

Meditation has reams upon reams of scientific literature behind it. Equating it to a step above vagina crystals is spitting in the face of research going back at least half a century.

Meditation can and does help those with ADHD, especially in conjunction with correct medication.

That's not what I said. I said, especially in conjunction with correct medication.

You're not arguing in good faith, and haven't everywhere you've commented in this thread. You've been nasty, short, and insulting to everyone you've engaged with.

Equating the benefits of meditation and learning to exercise the muscle of attention to "vagina crystals" is pure ignorance with an agenda.
