Thank you for sharing your experience. I am also able to work without medications but doing it for a long period makes me miserable:) Glad to hear that it is possible with some right habits. I also didn't want to be dismissive about this game or coping mechanisms, sorry if I worded it like that. Even seemingly small changes can bring great improvements. There is a stigma around stimulants and I just wanted to highlight their benefits for people who are doubtful about them.

To acquire strategies to alleviate some problems, this might be helpful, similar to coaching and therapy.

I have, however, serious doubts that it can be a substitute for stimulants. ADHD affects so many parts of one's life such that attention sometimes seem a very small part of the disorder. Miraculously, at least for some people, stimulants create a kind of automatic improvement in other areas too. I hope that general discourse about ADHD moves towards easier access to those drugs, not replacing them.

Also, please don't speculate about ADHD, especially about people who suspect they might have it.

ADHD experience differ a lot among people and even in different situations for an individual. Because of this aspect, a lot of people have complicated relationships with their diagnoses.

Self-doubt, for various reasons, is a very common trait of people with ADHD. Strongly worded claims about ADHD might be very harmful to people who plan to seek help or struggle to follow their treatments.

Thank you for sharing this. Actually, your daughter inspired me to make a web site today. I even took some design tips from her. I was hoping to make programming fun for me and I guess not overthinking and keeping it simple is a good start.
