Dr. Barkley has written the book on ADHD- I mean, literally, he's one of the primary contributors to the DSM definitions and diagnosis of ADHD. He's also got a wealth of books available on the subject. I'm trying to plow through one now on tape, but the narrator, sadly not Dr. Barkley, is awful and I'm having real difficulty keeping from skipping ahead by chapters.

Dafuq?

Oh, I see from your post history. Okay, I get it now. You're tremendously wrong, but I understand your wholly uninsightful remark. Why don't you come over to r/ADHD and ask about what meds have done for them? How many adults have to deal with this every goddamn day because they can't remember shit for shit because their brain refuses to cooperate with linear progression?

I'm fully aware there are many people who love taking them. Your point?

many adults have to deal with this

Can you hyperfocus?
