ADHD is wildly common in the field. Everyone in my infosec department has it, which is amazing because we all get the struggle.

ADHD meds, meaning adderall in particular, are analogous of methamphetamine. That truth is blown so far out of proportion, it’s not even funny. By methylating the molecule, they increase its fat solubility dramatically. This makes it more potent, by far.
