pro tip: if you have to consume lovecraftian amounts of caffeine and you have autism, that’s the next best thing to an ADHD diagnosis.
frankly it boggles me that step 1 for an adhd diagnosis isn’t just giving people 200mg of caffeine pills and seeing if they start vibrating or promptly forget they ever took the pills.
I believe I have both ASD and ADHD, hard to say on the latter but I used to take Vyvanse and that shit was the bee’s knees. The only reason I stopped is I was on a high enough dose that my heart would pound for no reason. Not worth the perceived health risks
